"Justice Samuel Alito, who handles emergency appeals from Pennsylvania, rejected the request from the GOP leaders and voters that the court put on hold an order from the state Supreme Court that could now produce new congressional districts in the coming two weeks." AP

That's got to sting. (grin) The rest of the country needs to follow California's lead and draw districts via a non-partisan commission. Both parties have gone too far with gerrymandering.

IMO all states should follow one set of rules and regulations in federal elections, they can go ahead and be fascists in their own state elections.

The Mueller Investigation = Birtherism???
Rep. Tom Garrett (R-VA) on Monday compared special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election to the right-wing conspiracy theory that former President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. “Imagine that there was a partly political funded investigation into President Obama’s place of birth. This Russia investigation is essentially birtherism.”
