County faces political realignment in Delaware County
Delaware County faces substantial reapportionment after a 1980 census drop of 51 489, affecting Congressional, state Senate and state House districts. The 7th District may expand to include most of the county while the 5th may shrink. Two county Senate seats likely widen, and one local House district could be eliminated, with possible odd-shaped district realignments to fit population changes.
