all of the maps pretty much reflected the state's partisan registration split. This map was submitted by the same group of Dem voters who sued to have the 2018 map declared unconstitutional.

As for the new CDs, PA 17 lost its portion of Butler county and gained part of Allegheny county. PA 1, I believe, picked up a sliver of Montgomery county which might be enough to tip the balance to D if this is true.

Centre county is now part of PA 15. I don't think it's enough to make this district competitive, but that county is the largest population area and likely the only one that's growing.

CD 10 might be more swingy, not good for incumbent insurrectionist Scott Perry.

I'll be intersted to see what happens in PA-11 which is almost entirely Lancaster county. For years now, sprawl has been creeping into Lancaster. It could be on the same path as Chester county.

According to 538, the map produces 8R, 6D, 3 swing.
