On February 27, Pennsylvania Republican legislative leaders again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to let the state use the old U.S. House district boundaries this year, instead of the new ones drawn by the State Supreme Court earlier this month. Turzai v League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, 17A909.
The U.S. Supreme Court asked for a response from the League of Women Voters by 3 p.m., March 5, Monday. Meanwhile primary candidates are petitioning to get on the May primary ballot. They each need 1,000 signatures of party members.
