“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is set to release a new congressional district map on Monday, after weeks of political and legal fighting following its ruling that the map adopted in 2011 was an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
“But whatever the map looks like, don’t expect it to end the battle.”
“Republican lawmakers have vowed to resist the court’s order, saying they will seek a federal challenge to whatever map is selected.”
