After the 2000 census, Pennsylvania was divided into 19 congressional districts, down from 21. After the 2010 census, the number of districts decreased again, this time to 18.
In 2018, the PA Supreme Court ruled that existing Congressional districts were illegal by virtue of being partisan-driven gerrymandering. Buit despite this ruling, the Republican-controlled General Assembly failed to reach a compromise with Democratic Governor Tom Wolfe on a more appropriate redistricting plan. In the 2022 midterms, because of the 2020 United States census, Pennsylvania will lose another congressional seat, and have only 17 districts, as shown below.
Whichever of these 17 you're in, vote. Vote like your future depends on it, because it does.
