Reapportionment Plan Shifts State House Seats Across Counties
A proposed Pennsylvania reapportionment bill would move 13 seats from 10 counties with shrinking populations and grant 12 more to eight growing counties. Philadelphia would lose four seats, Montgomery and several suburbs gain, and Allegheny remains 28 seats though Pittsburgh loses three. Democrats accuse the plan of engineering GOP retention and dousing Democratic incumbents. The measure follows a 1953 redraw and faces Commonwealth Court scrutiny amid five taxpayer lawsuits challenging the reapportionment provisions.
