The charts came from the first regular webpage, not the printer friendly page that I linked.

The new 4th/old 19th has been a GOP bastion since the early 1950’s with the exception of the Goldwater backlash ‘64-’66.
Glad to see that it now has a VERY low district number.

You know, if the Dems never passed 0-care this probably wouldn't have happened, as the hard-core among the GOP would not have acquired the clout in the state legislature they now hold.

Finally, finally the Republicans are taking it to the Dimocraps with their own game. There’s hope yet!

Looks like the R’s are sacrificing the 13th District as a lost cause - ugh. I had hoped for some relief. No such luck.

Republicans in Pennsylvania, however, took a state that is two or three points more Democratic than the country as a whole, and created 12 districts (out of 18) that are more Republican than the country as a whole. They did so by creating what can only be called a group of Rorschach-inkblot districts in southeastern Pennsylvania.PA is fouled up by the Phily area. That's where most of the rats are. They'll win probably 3 seats in the Philly area, the Pittsburgh seat and 1 in the rest of the state (Holden) That sounds about right.
The net result is a map that shores up their vulnerable incumbents, and that may well result in a 14-4 Republican edge by the end of the decade.
The 14th seat being Holden's new district if he retires this decade? I doubt it. But it should be 13-5.
As for the question posited in the article title, No, it's Illinois. Next question.

I just noticed, what did they do to the first district to make it 9 points more Republican, and why? They probably could have added a few rats to the Pittsburgh seat too instead of apparently shedding a few.
