How the Pa. electorate has changed since 2016 and what that means for 2020

5. Redistricting

My area of Monroe was redistricted into a more Northern rural "Alabama part of state" but includes Scranton/Wilkes Barre. There is a fairly large percentage of Minority (Democrats?) and transplants from NJ and NY, and some from Philly. It is also considered a commuter area to NYC. Standing joke around here is where are you from? NJ or NY? People change their political views when they move?

It made a difference last election. Long standing incumbent Republican was soundly defeated by a virtually unknown Democrat. Major upset.

We have only lived in PA for two years. Retired and originally from NYC. Voted for first time in PA last November. Very long lines in a somewhat rural area, not a big city or suburb. The topic of conversation was not Governor or local candidates, but TRUMP. Very negative comments. Pleasantly surprised me, but maybe should not have given the demographics.

Edit: New voting law goes into effect in 2020. Voting machines must now have a paper trail. Thank you. Governor Wolf.
