In case you haven’t noticed, Congress is not particularly popular right now. In the midst of a government shutdown and the looming threat of the debt ceiling, Congress’ approval rating has barely been able to stay in double digits. A major culprit of this dysfunction according to experts is the redistricting process.

Under this philosophy, the process of drawing congressional districts is prone to gerrymandering, which involves making the districts as uncompetitive as possible. As a result, there are far less toss-up seats, as the parties collude to draw seats in order to protect the incumbents.

This week, PoliticsPA published a story on Pennsylvania’s Sixth District, a competitive seat made much safer after redistricting in 2010. Given all this it’s worth questioning whether after all the money is spent and all the dust has settled any of the state’s congressional seats will change hands.

So, we ask you, how many Pennsylvania seats in Congress will change parties in 2014?
