The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed several constitutional challenges to the state Legislative Reapportionment Commission’s second set of legislative districts, approving new district boundaries for state elections from 2014 to 2020.

The high court ruled that challengers failed to show the LRC’s design "overwhelmingly" showed political subdivisions had been split when it was not "absolutely necessary" in redrawing Pennsylvania’s 50 Senate and 203 House districts.
