Question about PA-18

Why will this district disappear after November? Redrawing should not take place until after the 2020 census? Or is this a court order?

But there will still be elections in November?

The redrawn maps are fairer and this district is split.

But in the new map's CD's Lamb will be in the new 17th (part of old 12th) and Saccone will be in the new 18th (old 14th). Lamb would face incumbent Keith Rothfus (R) and Saccone would square off against incumbent Mike Doyle (D). Neither candidate will live in the new 14th which encompasses most of the old/current 18th. That will be an open seat.
