this guy (D) -

instead of this guy (R) -

So the GOP can't steamroll a gerrymander through again like they did the last go-around.

And remember that even though they had to redraw the state assembly lines several times in 2011/2012 due to extreme gerrymandering for those seats as well, the final state Supreme Court outcome kept it skewed. And that's because it happened under the GOP trifecta that included the PA State Supreme Court, which was majority (R) back then.

But NOW, the PA State Supreme Court is 5 (D) - 2 (R), and will be that way until at least 2025. So rather than having no control like what happened in 2010/2011, Democrats actually control 2 Branches of PA government (Executive and Judicial).
