On Monday, Republican legislators in the Keystone State launched a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paredistricting.com\/\">website<\/a> to pull back the curtains on the redistricting process.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes after a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in 2018 the previous congressional map had been drawn too quickly and was unfair. Images of some of those maps attracted attention online due to their strange shapes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get a district as bad as Goofy kicking Donald and its nationally known as one of the worst gerrymandered districts in the country, it\u2019s embarrassing,\u201d Chair of Fair District PA Carol Kuniholm&nbsp; explained. \u201cPeople realize they can\u2019t do that again.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PAHouseGOP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PAHouseGOP<\/a> developed <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CHW550iyiO\">https:\/\/t.co\/CHW550iyiO<\/a> as a one-stop tool for PA residents to engage in Congressional redistricting.<\/p>\n<p>\u2705 Comment on 2018 maps<br \/>\u2705 Draw communities of interest<br \/>\u2705 Draw full maps<br \/>\u2705 Stay up to date of hearing locations and times<br \/>\u2705 Provide General comments<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
