🚨Pennsylvania GOP just advanced a constitutional amendment that would effectively gerrymander the judiciary for the GOP by electing judges by district instead of statewide. Comes after the Dem PA Supreme Court struck down their congressional gerrymander apnews.com/e978c2cb326439…
This power grab would have to pass both chambers before & after the 2020 elections before it would require voter approval in a referendum. The Dem-majority PA Supreme Court is a key bulwark against GOP gerrymandering efforts, & this proposal could ensure GOP court majorities
Hat tip to @AdamEichen for flagging this development
Pennsylvania Republicans are using their gerrymandered majorities to try to pass yet another gerrymandering power grab, which is why it's critical that Dems flip a legislative chamber in 2020 to stop this from succeeding
Nope. Only the legislature and voters get a say in Pennsylvania's constitutional amendment process
