Federal court rejects GOP-led effot to block House map that helps Democrats in Utah
A federal court has rejected a GOP-led attempt to block Utah’s new House voting districts, allowing districts that improve Democrats’ chances to proceed in this year’s elections.
The ruling clears the use of the revised map, which was challenged as partisan gerrymandering, and permits candidates to campaign under the updated boundaries.
Officials say the decision ensures voters will cast ballots under the new districts in the upcoming House race, affecting competitiveness and seat outcomes.
