Hey guys. I'm really sorry I can't be more thorough in this write up. I accidentally closed the window when taking screenshots, though luckily I snapped one before it closed.
I remember the numbers, so it should be fine. This map cements the GOP gains made last November.
The map strengthens Murphy, Kelly, Barletta, Marino, Pitts, Gerlach, Dent, and, most importantly, Holden. It eliminates the Murthamander and makes the Altmire/Critz seat vulnerable.
This map is more mischievous because not a single township is broken up except for Philadelphia; this is a HUGE contrast to today's map. Also, my map forces Holden to run in a Democratic vote sink--this might be the only way to defeat the Iron Man.
