Mar 2018

We are ecstatic here. The hope is we can pick up a couple seats that we SHOULD have had before the GOP skewed all the districts to maximize their chances.

Just based on state party registration (800,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans), the PA House contingent really should be 10 Democrat & 8 GOP. But even if not that based on where folks live relative to the boundaries, it needs to at least be no less than 8 Democrats.

I.e., the current 13 GOP - 5 Democrat contingent MUST change! Just based on this and other oddities, people keep assuming that PA is some "red" state and it is not! It is "purple/lean Democrat" and last year's Drumpf win was a (cheat) fluke.
