State Legislatures and Redistricting

Here it says the GOP gained at least 13 Democratic seats in the PA House.

Wait, DeWeese managed to win? How the frack?

DeWeese 52.5, some republican 47.5

wtf?

Thought the indictment would finally finish him off, but no.

I don't think DeWeese was indicted.  Perzel was indicted and lost.  You are confusing your corrupt Pennsylvania state reps.

You sure? I'll accept my memory on this isn't likely to be brilliant as I only pick things up to do with the laughable world of state politics in Pennsylvania occasionally, but that article described him as a 'criminal defendant'.

Hilarious, either way.

Um... why?

Edit: ah... now, this makes no sense. Because 'SkillandChance' has deleted his post. But he expressed delight at the narrow margin in the Colorado House and said that it would mean the Democrats going for CO-3 as at least one Republican would vote for their plan. He provided no evidence of this, so I asked the question above. Rather than actually answer the question, he deleted the post that prompted it.

haha: Democrats actually increased their majority in the WV State Senate.

Intriguing; I've just had a look through (well, a very quick scan anyway) the PA House results, and the Democrats seem to have held up somewhat better in the west than the rest of the state; which is a little unexpected. DeWeese result not so odd then.
