To be clear, assuming that Wolf is reelected (which must have some risk), this is what we're looking at in PA:

  • Legislative redistricting: drawn by a commission that may favor Democrats
  • Congressional redistricting: drawn by incumbent GOP legislature with Democratic governor, or by a court if they can't agree

    Assuming Virgina's correct, which I have no reason to doubt--ever--where does the governor come into play for redistricting wars? [/list]

    My memory of PA from past cycles is that all those rules apply to the legislative redistricting but the congressional map is passed as a regular bill which the governor can veto.
