The History of Gerrymandering in Pennsylvania

Event Description

As part of Archives Month, the Historical Society of Frankford is hosting a public education program on the history of Pennsylvania’s redistricting process. Fair Districts PA speakers John Kromer and Maryann Connolly will explain PA’s current redistricting process and some of the historical context for how this process came to be. They will demonstrate how the current process can undermine democracy. A solution to the problem will be discussed as well as legislation and roadblocks in Harrisburg and FDPA’s strategy going forward.

Fair Districts PA is a non-partisan coalition of citizens and organizations seeking to reform PA redistricting rules by ensuring that the process is impartial, transparent, and accountable.
