8. The state Supreme Court already redrew the gerrymandered lines in 2018

so that we were able to go from 13 (R) - 5 (D) to 9 (R) - 9 (D). At this point, I would hate to mess too much with that or we'll be right back into the minority unless we hold Wolf (or get a follow-on D governor) in there long enough to override any attempt to screw with it and keep the General Assembly from gaining a super majority (which they currently don't have at the moment) so they could override a veto .

We just need to do a door-to-door in Bucks County to get the Democrats out in the little cities like Bristol, Bensalem, Warminister, and Warrington, etc.

Since you've got the data, how does Lancaster county look? Deminpenn Apr 2021 #23
Checking now and Lancaster Co seems to be showing the same sort of shift BumRushDaShow Apr 2021 #26
