Went Trump 69-27 and hasn't have a Democratic congressman since the 1930's.

Would be cool to make history and turn it, but not getting my hopes up.

Wow. Makes you wonder. Maybe they are starting to realize what a criminal enterprise the Republican party is and they are afraid of being considered aiding and abetting it.

to the state supreme court. The lower court just completed fact-finding and now the case will go to the PA supreme court for a ruling. There's a chance they could rule the map unconstitutional before the primary. Then a new map would have to be drawn and the primary pushed back a couple months.

It's possible Shuster sees his district being redrawn to his disadvantage before Nov.
