| Description | The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Monday that the state’s congressional map violated the state constitution and a new map must be in place for the 2018 elections.
The Republican defendants are expected to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. But attorneys for the plaintiffs said the high court would be unlikely to take up the case, since the state court ruled the current map violated the state, not the federal, constitution.
The Pennsylvania court ruled that the current special election in the 18th District, scheduled for March 13, will not be affected by the order, and will take place under the current boundaries. |
