HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The five-person commission drawing new district lines for Pennsylvania’s General Assembly will hold a voting meeting later this week. A state Senate Democratic spokeswoman says the subject will be preliminary maps for the state House and Senate. The new maps are being drawn with 2020 Census data. The primary election is May 17, and counties want to have maps in place about three weeks before candidates start circulating petitions make it onto the primary ballot. That period begins Feb. 15.
