Quick Facts All 18 Pennsylvania seats to the United States House of Representatives, Majority party ...

Republicans control redistricting in Pennsylvania, which lost one seat in reapportionment.^[1] A map released on December 13, 2011, effectively merged the 4th and 12th congressional districts, represented by Democrats Jason Altmire and Mark Critz.^[2] The map was passed by the Pennsylvania Senate.^[3] Critz won the incumbent-on-incumbent primary, but then lost the general election.

Pennsylvania was one of five states (along with Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, and Arizona) where the party that won the most seats did not win the most votes in the state.
