Pennsylvania Democrats set to win big with new district map
By Ben Kamisar and Lisa Hagen - 02/20/18 08:42 PM EST

The Democratic push to retake the House received a major boost from Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, which released a new district map Monday that’s poised to improve the party’s chances in about a half-dozen seats.

But the fight over the new districts is just beginning. Republicans are expected to push hard against the implementation of the maps, a fight President Trump welcomed in a tweet.

State and federal Republicans announced plans Tuesday to challenge the map in court. One GOP official told The Hill that the challenge is expected to include Republican members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation.

For now, though, the map marks a big win for Democrats.

What the PASC did here is wholly illegal and will be struck down. The SC can't draw up maps and force the state to use them. The maps are drawn by the legislators and no one else.
