Thank God the "Obama team" just finished (through the Federal Courts) to change Pennsylvania's gerrymandered district maps back to a much more fair election.

The courts said the change will remain through 2020.

That was intense and alarming. The fact that Trump has appointed 23% of the federal judges is hair raising! Racist America wins again unless we all rise up and fight daily.

Glad to know others like me on DU will not give up the fight.
