Also embedded is a direct link to the proposed maps.

The Senate redistricting was approved by the LRC unanimously so it should have no trouble passing.

The House redistricting map was approved 3-2 with Nordenberg casting the deciding vote.
But, really, we are only talking about 10-12 House districts. Right now Rs have about a 20 seat margin, 112-91 or something. That doesn't reflect the partisan registration in the state which is a slight majority D.
My guess is that the map will be approved given Wolf will veto any attempts by the Rs to make the map more R albeit not without a lot of wailing from Rs first.
