Reapportionment

Do you remember high school Social Studies?  Or Civics?  Every 10 years we have a census and after that, we get new voting maps.  Stories about the new PA maps were all the rage a couple of months ago, and even threatened to delay the primary last m onth.  but finding the actual map has not been easy.

Delco Daily Times ran a public notice about the maps on May 3, pg. 13 complete with copies of all the area districts.  The quality is not too good however.  But it gave the official name of the plan and that was enough to be able to track down a set of interactive maps published by the state.  It gives both state representatives, state senatorial, and US House districts for the entire state.
