Like Pennsylvania, North Carolina is a swing state in which partisan gerrymandering has given one party disproportionate representation in the state legislature and Congress. And, also like Pennsylvania, an elected state Supreme Court approved fair maps in 2022. However, a judicial election in November 2022 changed the partisan makeup of the court, and in what experts are calling an unusual decision, on April 28 the court reversed its own ruling from just over a year earlier, paving the way for a legislature to enact a new partisan gerrymander.

CCFD was honored to host Rep. Joanna McClinton (PA-191), House Democratic Leader, in the spring at a virtual conversation and Q&A on redistricting. Rep. McClinton, together with Justin Klos, Director of Demographics, shared their experiences with the Legislative Reapportionment Commission (LRC) and answered a variety of questions – with reflections on the mapping process and thoughts on redistricting going forward. Pennsylvanians should be proud of the work of the LRC.

Concerned Citizens for Democracy added our perspective to Carter v. Chapman, a case before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania challenging the legislature’s proposed Congressional redistricting plan. Read the court filings on our Documents and Publications page.
