Event Description

The Monroe County League of Women Voters is hosting a public education program on reforming Pennsylvania’s redistricting process at the Eastern Monroe County Library. Fair Districts PA speaker and plaintiff in the LWV court case Mark Lichty will explain PA’s current redistricting process, demonstrate how it undermines democracy, and then offer a solution to the problem.  He will also discuss the current litigation. 

Fair Districts PA is a non-partisan coalition of citizens and organizations seeking to reform PA redistricting rules by taking the process out of the hands of party leaders and putting that process into the hands of an impartial, transparent, and accountable citizens’ commission.
