Lawsuit challenging GOP electoral maps to move forward

[meow2u3]

PHILADELPHIA - A panel of judges has denied a motion to quash a federal lawsuit charging that Pennsylvania's congressional maps give Republicans an unfair electoral advantage.

The judges issued the ruling Tuesday after lawyers for the state's Republican leaders asked them to dismiss the case brought by five Pennsylvania voters against the governor and elections officials.

I think Democrats have a chance to win this suit. We have the PA Supreme Court, which may well be a help.

1. The map was already tossed in 2011 by the court

but since the GOP controlled all branches of state gov't, the re-drawn map wasn't much of an improvement.
