'That’s a pretty big gap between the percentage of the vote won and the percentage of seats won, but at least the same party won the majority of the popular vote and districts. '
'Democratic voters tend to cluster in urban areas around major cities, making them easier to pack into a few districts. '
'Flashback to 2012, however, and you see just how big a role that Pennsylvania map has played in the GOP’s control of the congressional delegation. '
'In 2016, Republicans captured 50.4 percent of the national two-party House vote, while Democrats captured 49.5 percent. '
'With that 54 percent of the vote; they won 72 percent of the state’s 18 House seats -13 of them. '
