Disapproval of the proposed PA Senate map
I disapprove of the proposed PA Senate map. Rather than being split it two, Allentown should be kept intact in a single district that also includes the townships to the west (Upper Macungie and South Whitehall), as well as the townships bordering Allentown to the north and south (Whitehall, Catasaqua, Hanover, Salisbury, Emmaus). The proposed map creates many districts in SW and central PA (including all Pittsburgh districts) that fall well below ideal population, while districts in Philadelphia and other SE counties have much more dense populations. This malapportionment effectively dilutes the voting power of PA's fastest growing regions, while inflating the voting power of areas with dwindling populations, which is blatantly unfair. The map should be redrawn to eliminate this inequitable distribution of population, and reflect the current population of PA. Thank you for your consideration.
