U.S. Supreme Court Denies Republican Appeal in Pennsylvania Redistricting Case

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied the Republican appeal to block implementation of the new map.  This would seem to close the door on this issue -- the new district boundaries ordered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be effective for the 2018 midterms.

The decision came shortly after a federal court dismissed a separate appeal by some Republican congressmen.
