    I’m hoping that changes. People were expecting PA to swing heavy red in the mid terms and it didn’t. It was very close. I’m hoping that mean in the general we can get a strong blue turn out.

      Doubtful with the current maps, but anything is possible. The legislature flip was shocking enough

        The maps are actually reasonably fair. The Senate seats up in 2022 didn’t have enough competitive districts for Dems to win the Senate, but the other half in 2024 provides a decent opportunity. The Senate is actually more favorable to Democrats than the House districts.

        There are about 27 Senate districts that are blue-leaning or 50/50 under the new maps. The House on the other hand actually tilts red just a bit.
