A group suing over Pennsylvania's new map of congressional districts asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider whether they are entitled to an emergency order to halt the plan.
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania -- A group suing over Pennsylvania's new map of congressional districts asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to reconsider whether they are entitled to an emergency order to halt the plan.
"Relief is urgently needed because candidates are already campaigning for office under this unconstitutional map, and the statutory deadline for obtaining the needed signatures on nomination petitions is March 8," the plaintiffs told the U.S. Supreme Court. The plaintiffs also argued that the state Supreme Court-selected map improperly contains congressional districts that vary from each other by two residents, when it's possible to meet federal standards with deviations of just one person.
"Having a court 'suspend' or delay the primary-election calendar to accommodate the judicial creation of a new congressional map is not an option," the plaintiffs argued in the U.S. Supreme Court filing.
