US Supreme Court allows pro-Democratic California voting map.

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed California on Wednesday to use a new electoral map designed to give Democrats five more congressional seats, improving the party's chances of regaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives from President Donald Trump's Republicans in the November midterm elections.

The justices denied the California Republican Party's request to block California's map, which was endorsed by voters last year as a counterweight to a similar effort in Texas aimed at giving Republicans five more U.S. House seats. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in December allowed Texas to use its redrawn map for this year's voting.
