They can declare the state law unconstitutional, but I’d rather they didn’t. Let them re-draw the map and lose even more. Pennsylvania’s gone red, and it’s not because of any bloody map.
I know I don’t live in PA, I live in Wisconsin, and we have the same situation where our BLUE counties are greater populated, but the REST of our State ROARED this last time around, as did yours! From what I’m finding on-line, I don’t think you need to take your suicide pill just yet over this, FRiend! :)

Interesting that 6 years ago when these were drawn there wasn’t a single objection.....now 6 yrs. later.... suddenly it’s an issue.

Rats can’t win with votes so they turn to courts.
Of course they can.
I don’t think it is that bad...
You are expected to believe that the redrawn map will be less gerrymandered rather than more so.
You are also expected to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
The US Supreme Court must put this decision on hold for two reasons: First, the PA Supreme Court may not have the authority to order a redrawing of congressional district maps, because these are US congressional districts and thus the federal courts must oversee the drawing of these district boundaries. Secondly, even if the federal courts rule that the PA congressional map has to be redrawn, it will take at least a year to complete the redrawing process fairly and then candidates will need at least another nine months to get organized and run campaigns in the primaries and general election. That means a redrawing process, if it is order by federal courts, cannot start until early next year. So this PA court decision is an attempt by democrat judges to disrupt the congressional district map and then not give the Republican candidates enough time to run good campaigns and win these congressional seats. This is a case of classic disruptive democrat political tactics.
So this entire decision needs to be stayed and put on hold while the SCOTUS first decides if the PA Supreme Court even has the authority to order this redrawing of the congressional district map. This is like an attempted coup d’etat by democrats to quickly seize some congressional seats by not giving the GOP enough time to get properly organized and run good campaigns. This whole thing must be stopped right now by the SCOTUS.
