And 3 of them in Eastern PA, I think we’d have lost under the old map anyway, given the results.
Lambchop would be gone though, losing to Reschenthaler in his original district, and Keith Rothfus would still be there.
I worried the rodents would steal 5 seats out of that illegal PA map, instead of 2 (getting a tie). They just stole the 5 elsewhere (and 35 more).
Argh ! Disregard that last post. I added up the figures wrong, it was 4 seats stolen, not 2.
I don’t think that we would have lost the Lehigh Valley district. It was made a lot more Democrat by the corrupt judges, and it looks as if the GOP nominee in the special election held under the old lines for the rest of Dent’s term (who also was the nominee for the regular election under the new lines) narrowly won the special election despite being completely unknown in the areas excised from the new district.
