HARRISBURG, Pa. — Editor's note: The above video is from Feb. 4.
Pennsylvania’s state Supreme Court will consider a new map of congressional districts being recommended by a lower court judge who picked a proposal favored by top Republican lawmakers, but opposed by Democrats.
The map recommended Monday by Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough, a Republican, came from a pool of more than a dozen submitted to the court.
The map passed the Republican-controlled Legislature without support from a single Democratic lawmaker and was vetoed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.
It sides with Republicans on the most prominent areas of disagreement between partisans.
The state Supreme Court — with a 5-2 Democratic majority — will make the ultimate decision.
