HARRISBURG— After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Democratic majority threw out the Republican-drawn map of congressional districts as an unconstitutional gerrymander, Republicans have a new plan. They wish to either impeach the judges who voted against them, or elect appellate judges by districts.
State Representative Fred Keller(R-85th, Kreamer) says he agrees with the move, “ I think that’s probably as relevant as anything else if you want to make sure you have an equal representation of the cross section of the entire state.”
When it comes to congressional redistricting, Rep. Keller has a unique idea for the commission saying, “My thought was if you are going to create a commission you should probably create that commission from somebody how is elected to office but not us, and you should probably create that commission from county commissioners. My point was if you pick county commissioners it’s someone that is stable, registered to vote, and someone who has been in the community for a while.”
