Pennsylvania's Congressional districts are getting a makeover.
Tuesday, the state House approved the new map which ensures the majority of districts are held by Republicans.
Governor Corbett is expected to sign the plan into law.
Republicans, who control the legislature, drew up the plan in secret and unveiled it a week before it passed in the House and Senate.
Democrats say it will protect incumbents by making U.S. House districts less competitive and further contribute to gridlock in Congress.
