My Community is Broken under your house plan
I have real concerns with this map. This is the second comment I have submitted. I simply want to re-iterate that my community of interest: The Murrysville, Export, Delmont area, has been broken up for no good reason at all. These three communities do so much together, that to break them apart would be wrong, and possibly unconstitutional. Further, this map breaks Murrysville apart, and the Franklin Regional School district apart, without real justification. Such break ups are unconstitutional, as if I recall correctly, there are large population discrepancies in the proposed state house map. It would be one thing if you were going for exactly equal sized districts, and had to break apart a community or two for that, but there would at least be a trade off then. There is no trade-off here. This House map needs scrapped and re-done. I have already written before about how the house seat totals projected don't match with county-side votes in our highly populated counties. There is much to be done to fix this map. The map I look at currently proposed is a partisan gerrymander to benefit the democratic party and democratic candidates. Look no further than the amount of incumbent to incumbent match ups for proof: 12 for republicans, and only a handful for democrats. To propose such an outcome would be wrong and unfair.
