Pennsylvania weighs 34th seat as 60 day notice looms
Harrisburg March 18. A plan to reapportion Pennsylvania’s congressional districts from 34 to 98, with 4 pending formal notification from Congress, was discussed by Albert L. O’Connor chairman of the House Congressional Apportionment Committee. He cited a 1940 act requiring national notice before district changes and noted the 60 day window starts when Congress is notified by the President of census-driven changes. If no notice arrives, Pennsylvania would keep 34 representatives. The session also faces redrawing state House and Senate districts, a task avoided since 1921, while a prior 1937 act for the legislature was struck down by Dauphin County court for omitting districts.
