1. That, along with voter suppression and vote machine hacking,

are the three obstacles standing in the way of restoring whatever semblance of democracy remains, even more important than getting corporate cash out of the leg/electoral process

3. I hope that politics do not influence the PA Justices' decision.

In Tuesday's election, the incumbent Republican candidate (who was recently appointed to the court) prevailed over the Democrat challenger who is an Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) Common Pleas Judge. I hope the Republican justices on the court set aside whatever allegiance they may otherwise feel toward their party and rule that boundaries of the PA congressional districts have resulted from Republican-guided gerrymandering.
