Slay The Gerrymander This Thursday at Lafayette

Northampton County's League of Women Voters (NCLWV), Easton's NAACP and FairDistrictsPA are teaming up for a panel discussion about the gerrymander on Thursday, May 4, at 7:00 pm at Lafayette College's Colton Chapel (S College and Pardee Dr, Easton). Sen. Lisa Boscola and Rep. Steve Samuelson will present their plans to replace a system in which legislators pick their voters with an independent commission that will draw boundary lines.

If gerrymandering reform fails to pass this year, that will end any attempt to reform the system for another decade. That's because it must pass twice in two consecutive years and then be voted on as a constitutional amendment.
