The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that California may use a new congressional map approved by voters.

Justices rejected arguments from Republicans asking the court to block district lines they claimed were rigged in favor of Democratic candidates, and their decision was issued as a one-sentence order that did not provide explanation or dissent, reported NBC News.

Democratic legislators drew up the map and voters approved the mid-decade redistricting plan that could give the party a chance to gain five more seats in this fall's midterm elections.

Gov. Gavin Newsom promoted the measure in response to a new map passed last summer by Republicans in Texas to give themselves five additional favorable matchups, but similar efforts have found mixed success around the country.
