As the article notes, Pennsylvania made an attempt to do this before the 2012 election, but didn't make it. But as long as Republicans have aspirations to be a ruling minority (and they do, they do), they will keep trying to make ways that their fringe voice can be in power. And that's SCARY.
GOP's new campaign strategy? Double down on gerrymandering
