@LWVPA opinion in @MLMediaNews Let's avoid the costly and litigious #redistricting process of the past decade by passing the Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Act. This will mandate transparency and #FairMaps#FairDistrictsPA

Those amendments passed 53 to 47- hardly overwhelming.
There's far more support for #redistricting reform.
Will @SenatorArgall follow the will of the people on that? He can choose to give SB 222 a vote & help end #Gerrymandering in PA
The people demanded. So far he's ignored us.
The team at @davesredist does a great job helping advocates and activists fight #gerrymandering. The app is excellent, and free to use, and you can support them towards their $25k fundraising goal below.

The #ForThePeopleAct would require an independent #redistricting commission in every state.
It would also end prison #gerrymandering across the country.

LACRA, the Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Act, now has 25 senate co-sponsors (for SB 222) and 88 house co-sponsors (for HB 22). Senator Argall introduced redistricting reform bills with LWVPA support back in the 1980s and 90s but hasn't scheduled a vote on SB 222.
@nowthisnews and @EmCollective "One of the problems of gerrymandering is it lessens political competition. If we can draw more fair, more representative maps, that's going to bring on more political competition" #FairDistrictsPA#EndGerrymandering

From @katieemeyer4: Pandemic-induced delays in the release of census data have stalled PA's #redistricting process. Some lawmakers, including @Senatorcosta, are optimistic that both parties will compromise on drawing new district maps. #FairDistrictsPa
