Gerrymandering is topic of event planned in Palmerton

“Ongoing efforts to end gerrymandering — What’s new since the PA Supreme Court decision,” will be the topic of an informational program for the public to be held at 6 p.m. on March 26 in the upstairs gallery room of the Palmerton Area Library, 402 Delaware Ave., Palmerton.

Many people think that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court resolved gerrymandering, but the court only required remedial maps for the 2018 and 2020 congressional elections. The court did nothing about Pennsylvania’s gerrymandered legislative districts. And, redistricting starts all over after each census, the next to take place in 2020.

Fair Districts PA is a nonpartisan coalition of citizens and organizations seeking to reform PA redistricting rules.
