The Pennsylvania Republican state legislators are angry that the redistricting this year was not gerrymandered to their taste. To counter, they have introduced HB 2207, claiming that they want to set up a “citizens’ commission.”
The legislation would allow party leaders to influence the people who draw the lines. The proposed commission would be a partisan commission. The legislation proposes to do this with a constitutional amendment that would give one party complete control over legislative redistricting.
They really don’t like democracy, do they?
They never did.
