Round & round it goes.
Where it ends, nobody knows.
It's the political game of #gerrymandering for partisan advantage.
One thing we do know:
Voters are always losers.

Why won't PA party leaders act on #redistricting reform? Why do they support a system that encourages #gerrymandering?
This letter to the editor explains it: preserving party leaders' power.

That's a very mild example of what could happen if Democrats control the next #redistricting & decide to #gerrymander their opponents.
Yet there are only 2 R cosponsors for HB 31 & 2 for SB 131. We still can't understand why. Time is short to put protections in place before 2031.

Some members of PA GOP think we're biased toward Democrats. But we've warned about a potential Dem #gerrymander in 2031. Here's a possible House map that increases Dem control and pits incumbent Republicans against each other. Fantasy? Nope. It can really happen. @PAHouseGOP

PA's full-time legislature was in session 3 days in February. The senate has 5 days in session this month. The house: just 4. March 23 & 24 are the only days both chambers are in session together.
How many bills passed so far this year?
Seven.

Check the large pink district in north central: SD 21. Looks like 3 PA senators would land in 1 district. 2 of them could move reform quickly: @SenatorPittman & @SenatorDush.
Strange how some PA legislators are sure the current system works fine for them. Until it doesn't.

#gerrymandering is an attempt to control election outcomes. Most voters object strongly.
With increasingly fluid voter behavior the tactic aims at a moving target.
Best move in the mid-decade redistricting war?
Listen to voters. Don't treat us as pawns.

It's a critical juncture:
The bills to prevent #gerrymandering in PA need to start moving NOW. We've got to end the short-sighted indifference of party leaders.

🇺🇸1/3 Over the past 35 years, coincident with rising partisanship, the voting public has been leaving the 2 major parties in the millions.
PA's closed primaries hide that fact-but talk to voters. They agree PA needs structures that resist partisan control.

Right now PA's divided government protects us from the unfolding mid-decade redistricting nightmare.
Safeguards in HB 31 & SB 131 could protect us in the future.
Ask House leader @RepBradford for a vote on HB 31:

"#Gerrymandering rigs elections. The central precept of democracy is that voters choose their elected officials, but partisan gerrymandering means that elected officials are choosing their voters."

"The percentage of the electorate that identifies with neither of the two major parties has grown from just over 30 percent in 1990 to 45 percent as of January 2026…"
When will party leaders realize people are sick of partisanship?
