7th District in Philadelphia
editLooking at the Google Earth maps, I can't see any part of the 7th district as being in Philadelphia County. john k (talk) 23:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
The section on Congressional Misrepresentation sounds bias
editAlthough this section does have accurate notations, it does come across as bias. It is comparing a general state wide votes to an individual district votes. This article is about the individual Congressional districts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egrep (talk • contribs) 10:06, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
- I second this opinion. Though this may be accurate, this section was purposely written to negatively highlight gerrymandering as a distinctly Republican encouraged activity, without considering the history of Pennsylvania's congressional boundaries, or their partisan demographics. Total disregard of NPOV. 206.196.185.22 (talk) 19:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Redistricting section
editNeeds to be rewritten, for example this line: "The process of drawing district boundaries, or redistricting, in Pennsylvania is described here[3] and here.The process of drawing district boundaries, or redistricting, in Pennsylvania is described here[3] and here." What is "here"? -KaJunl (talk) 13:16, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Meehan's home town
editWhy does it say "Philadelphia/Reading"? Doesn't Meehan live in Delaware County? His official House bio says so. That'd be neither Philadelphia nor Reading. john k (talk) 15:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
Missing Link
editPerhaps this page should have a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Pennsylvania,_2016 I'd add one myself, but perhaps another 49 pages have the same error.Jamesdowallen (talk) 00:54, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania 2018 redistricting
editIn February 2018 the court redrew the district map on the grounds that the old map was unconstitutional because of gerrymandering. The new districts appear more homogeneous minimizing county or municipal splits. Adding to the confusion, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court essentially threw out all the old district numbers and renumbered all but one of 18 seats making for a more logical and sequential numbering system. This article needs to be rewritten to reflect the new boundaries and related history. Grahamboat (talk) 20:31, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Historic trends
editFor how long has Pennsylvania been losing House seats? When was the last time we gained one? --PaulinSaudi (talk) 00:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- This page is for discussing improvement of the associated article, not Q and A about the subject. That said, the U.S. House column of the table in Political party strength in Pennsylvania may provide the info. —ADavidB 05:36, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Let me rephrase, "I think it would improve the article to mention the long-term decline of the Pennsylvania House delegation. How long has Pennsylvania been losing seats? When was the last time it gained one?" --PaulinSaudi (talk) 11:56, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
