Democrats, others submit district maps

County and President Donald Trump received 37.4 percent.

The Supreme Court ordered the map proposals be submitted with information on the number of counties and municipalities that are split into multiple congressional districts. One criticism of the most recent map was that it divided 28 counties and 68 municipalities.

The Republican lawmakers’ proposal splits 15 counties and 17 towns. House Democrats’ map divides 17 counties and 18 municipalities, while Senate Democrats’ map divides 15 counties and 17 municipalities.

At a news conference Thursday in Harrisburg, Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre, said Mr. Wolf declined his request to petition the court for an extension and give the Legislature time to hold public hearings and draw a new map.

“We’re heading towards chaos,” Mr. Corman said, accusing the Supreme Court of usurping the power of the executive and legislative branches.

Without a map from the Legislature approved by Mr. Wolf, the Supreme Court has said it would adopt its own map by Monday. The court has hired StanfordUniversity professor Nathaniel Persily, a redistricting expert who has helped draw congressional maps in multiple states.

Republicans said they will challenge any map the court adopts — possibly by seeking an injunction in federal court and arguing that the justices have overstepped their bounds.

Lawrence J. Tabas, the attorney representing the Republican local officials who submitted a map Thursday, said they submitted one in addition to the lawmakers’ map because “our positions are not always identical” and the intervenors had not been involved in map-making in 2011 nor this time.

“They submitted one good-looking map,” Mr. Tabas said of the Republican lawmakers’ proposal, “We submitted one, too. They’re different.”
