Corry Satellite: Redistricting Reform: Why It Still Matters
Legislative district maps are redrawn after every census to reflect population changes. Pennsylvania's House, Senate, and Congressional district maps created after the 2010 census were among the most gerrymandered in the nation, limiting voters' choices and diminishing our voices. Current maps are better by most accepted metrics, but there is nothing in Pennsylvania law to prevent future district maps drawn to control outcomes or keep one party in power. Changing Pennsylvania's redistricting processes will take a multi-year effort to amend the Pennsylvania constitution, a foundational change that would create more responsive, accountable representation. Dr. Carol Kuniholm will explain why voting maps matter and how citizens can help advocate for a proposed reform.
