The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Pennsylvania Republicans’ challenge to a court-drawn voting map that may help Democrats pick up several U.S. House seats in the Nov. 6 congressional election.

The justices, without comment Monday, let stand a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision invalidating a Republican-drawn map that gave the GOP 13 of the state’s 18 congressional seats in three straight general elections. The court drew its own revised map after the Republican-controlled legislature and Democratic governor couldn’t agree on new lines.
