There's 50 - 60 counties in Pennsylvania. Nearly a 3rd of the state population are in the 5 counties surrounding Philadelphia. Throw in Allegheny county and over 40% of the population are in 6 counties. Throw in some of the counties surrounding Allegheny county and you gonna have have half the population in a dozen or so counties that surround the only two major metropolitan cities in the state.
Not totally in favor of the current system but allow a a small number of large cities run the entire state isn't going to leave everybody represented.
