Stop with the partisan nonsense.
The districts are 10-8 in a state where both parties got roughly 48% of the vote .
Rplepublicans still have the edge by the way, so how is it a democratic gerrymander ?
Pennsylvania could easily be drawn to give Democrats a advantage but the Courts made it 7-7 with 4 toss up districts that lean one way or the other by less than 10 points .
You are basically saying this supports Democrats because it is equal when it used to be unequal .

Democrat judges have totally redrawn election lines in the great State of Pennsylvania. @FoxNews. This is very unfair to Republicans and to our country as a whole. Must be appealed to the United States Supreme Court ASAP!
Yes, very unfair to not draw a district like the current 7th that crawls all over the Philadelphia suburbs in search of just enough Republican voters; so unfair to object to splitting metro areas like Erie, Harrisburg and Reading into multiple districts so that the Democrats lack a critical mass in any of these seats. Maybe the US Supreme Court will step in to stop this foolishness, even though conservative Justice Alito refused to entertain a previous appeal from the Republican legislature. But that was before such profound thoughts had been vocalized on Twitter!

You forgot to add some of Amish country to that suburban Philly crawling district for good measure.
Another loss for Trump. He pushed for getting the US Supreme Court involved.
He must be tired of all the "winning".
