Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
Nope - the lines haven’t changed yet, as this is the last vote on the previous gerrymandered voting districts, and the election in November will be under the new districts.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court released a new map for the state’s US House of Representatives districts Monday, to replace the old one it struck down as a Republican partisan gerrymander. And the new map is positively fantastic news for Democrats in their effort to take back the House this fall.
“Democrats get everything they could want,” the New York Times’s Nate Cohn tweeted when he first saw the map Monday.
“With few exceptions it’s Democrats’ dream come true,” the Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman tweeted. “GOP not going to like this at all.”
The net impact of the new map is:
- It creates two new districts where Democrats are favored that didn’t exist in the previous map (and in one of those, they’re overwhelmingly favored).
- It keeps the same number of very closely divided swing districts that existed before (three).
- It changes one district that had been overwhelmingly Republican to be one where the GOP is favored but not entirely certain to win (Trump won the new district by about 9 points).
- Overall, it reduces by one the number of safe Republican districts (where Trump won by more than 15 points), and by one the number of lean Republican districts (where Trump won by 5 to 15 points).
