To think that manipulation of votes is acceptable is just sad. Legal action {and resourcing it} needs to get much more attention from activists. It can help change things for the better. And can people stop just voting for their own party regardless of what the party does to void gerrymandering.

It's still not a great map and gives barely any bump for liberals in Utah. Salt Lake county is the most populous one in Utah and leans 70% liberal, we have like 3 fucking elected Democrats at the state level, this map does barely anything.

My nephew lives there - gorgeous state and great highways. Clearly, their tax dollars are being spent well. But, I agree - There's no chance in hell they'd flip blue. So, this means something has got them awfully worried about a potential flip. #NoKings clearly freaked their Republicans out

Not exactly. Essentially there’s enough people in the Salt Lake City metro to make it viable for 1 of the state’s 4 House districts to elect a Democrat, and Utah’s 2018 law prevents the very red state legislature from gerrymandering that away into 4 solid red districts. This decision affirms that.
