Thanks. I had just assumed it wasn't limited to Congressional districts.

Are these special elections connected to the un-gerrymandering of the map?

(7,947 posts)5. Democrat Roni Green wins special election to Pa. House from West Philly
Democrat Roni Green easily prevailed in a special election Tuesday in West Philadelphias scandal-plagued 190th District in the state House, whose last two representatives resigned due to criminal convictions.
Green, a business agent for SEIU Local 668, defeated Republican Wanda Logan, an employment agency owner. She had 85.5% of the vote with 95% of the ballots tallied.
