Pennsylvania’s Democratic-majority Supreme Court wrested control of choosing new district lines for the state’s shrinking congressional delegation, a process that deadlocked the governor and Legislature.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s Democratic-majority Supreme Court wrested control Wednesday of choosing new district lines for the state’s shrinking congressional delegation, a process that deadlocked the governor and Legislature.
The decision came after Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a proposed map that passed the Republican-majority Legislature on nearly party lines. Justice Sallie Mundy, a Republican, said she would prefer to let McCullough render a decision and opinion and then expedite an appeal, rather than have the court exercise its jurisdiction at this point.State Sen.

Democrats had argued that it would go against that precedent to allow McCullough to issue an order adopting a particular map that she selects. Rather, they said, the court should follow its 1992 precedent, when it appointed a Commonwealth Court judge as a special master to provide a recommendation to the state Supreme Court.
