"many rural and blue-collar areas remain devoted to Trump. In Schuylkill County, for example, Republican voter registrations have surged on his watch. Republicans there held a slim 5,600-voter advantage over registered Democrats in 2016, an edge that now exceeds 17,000 voters, according to Pennsylvania voter data."

You are Correct! I forgot that the courts finally redrew districts, esp. near Phila. I worry that rosey glasses color estimations in Penna. The northern tier is unalterably pro-Trump. The Harrisburg area, too. Pgh will obviously go to Biden, but surrounding areas have a deep distrust of him, and evangelicals have promoted "lying to the pollsters" for "a Nov surprise."

I just sent $300 to Kos' list of reps to make the PA House BLUE. Sorry Kos makes it impossible to post a link--very stupid.

But read the Reuters article--it is very informative.
