Challenges to redistrict plan surface
Harrisburg reports that at least two challenges to Pennsylvania's new legislative redistricting plan are in progress. The Senate Democrats and a Chester County coalition plan to file petitions with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court by early next week, with Wednesday the filing deadline for appeals. The high court will hear arguments on January 23 in Harrisburg regarding the maps for the 203-seat House and 50-seat Senate, likely extending uncertainty for candidates and legislators. Backers contend communities were needlessly split and politics influenced the process. The Legislative Reapportionment Commission is chaired by the Republican and Democratic floor leaders from both houses, plus a senior judge.
