Gerrymandering

Gerrymandering: Pennsylvania Issues

2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 18, 2017

Community Library of the Shenango Valley

 

Last year our chapter of The League of Women Voters presented a program on gerrymandering that featured Dr. Shannon Smithey of Westminster College.  Her informative program provided an historic overview of gerrymandering and how gerrymandering impacts the political process.  

This year we continue to investigate gerrymandering with program speaker, Tony Crocamo, of Fair Districts PA.  Fair Districts PA is a nonpartisan coalition with leadership from Common Cause PA and the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania that supports creating an independent commission to ensure transparent, impartial, and fair districting in our state. Our programs are free and open to the public.  Refreshments will be served.
