The Supreme Court on Oct. 3 declined to hear a former Republican congressman’s challenge to a map of Pennsylvania’s U.S. House districts adopted by the commonwealth’s Democratic-majority high court.

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court in February approved the use of a U.S. House district map that was more favorable to Democrats than the maps that were drawn up by the Republican-controlled state Legislature. In March, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court map to remain in effect for the 2022 elections.
