Dems Release Their Own Congressional Map
Democrats have strongly criticized the congressional map unveiled yesterday by Harrisburg Republicans. Well-grounded accusations of partisanship fill the air.
So Senate Democrats have released their own version. The caucus will introduce the map below as an amendment to SB 1249 at some point Wednesday.
Since Republicans have the Governor’s mansion and majorities in the Pa. House and Senate, it’s unlikely to go anywhere. But it’s interesting to look at.The full map is below. Bless them for including municipal breakdowns.
It raises an interesting question: can Dems still complain about gerrymandering when their maps looks like this?
I love hearing the ‘rats cry. Now, if we could only figure how to gerrymander Philadelphia and a good chunk of Delaware County to New Jersey.
That is all you need to see because that's really all they do. Oh and spend other peoples money.
“District 12” on the Dem map is a work of art. It starts from the southwest corner of PA and doesn’t include a single county in its entirety (of the 15 that it is comprised of) as it stretches to within a few miles of the the middle of the southern New York state border.
What makes you think we want them any more then you do?
Nobody seems to ever point out that when Dems are in control, they gerrymander the heck out of districts themselves for their own self-interests. Yet, it’s only ever an issue when Republicans do it.
LOL, just wishful thinking. Maybe there can be new state that includes Camden, Chester and Philadelphia, come up with a third ‘C’ city and it could be called CCCP, and not a part of the US.
