1. My understanding was that in PA, you just need the lower house plus the governorship to redistrict. Is that not accurate?

What about Minnesota, Oregon and Wisconsin?

No, you definitely require both chambers of the General Assembly in Pennsylvania. Jubelirer of Vieth v Jubelirer fame (the SCOTUS case on the PA gerrymander) was a state senator BTW.

Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Oregon also require both chambers to approve a congressional redistricting. Oh, and to reiterate, Governor Pawlenty of Minnesota is still a Republican, and must sign off on any redistricting, and there is no chance the Oregon Dems could redistrict their lone Republican congress critter, Greg Walden (OR-04), out of office.
