Are these special elections connected to the un-gerrymandering of the map?

Democrat Roni Green easily prevailed in a special election Tuesday in West Philadelphia’s scandal-plagued 190th District in the state House, whose last two representatives resigned due to criminal convictions.

Green, a business agent for SEIU Local 668, defeated Republican Wanda Logan, an employment agency owner. She had 85.5% of the vote with 95% of the ballots tallied.
