Utah judge denies GOP-passed congressional map

A Utah judge rejected a Republican-passed redistricting plan on Monday, ruling it did not comply with a 2018 voter-approved measure requiring nonpartisan redistricting standards.

The rejected map had created two competitive districts but still favored Republicans.

The judge instead approved a plan creating a solidly Democratic district covering Salt Lake City, giving Democrats a second potential win in Utah.

The case highlights ongoing battles over partisan gerrymandering, with Republicans seeking to undo the 2018 measure and Democrats making gains elsewhere, including a recent ballot initiative in California, Politico has reported.

Former Rep. Ben McAdams is considering a run, which could make Utah Democrats competitive in Congress for the first time since 2021.
