The Utah Court of Appeals issued a ruling yesterday rejecting the state’s proposed redistricting plan for 2022. The ruling centers on the map’s drawing, which utilized a Republican-dominated district map. The appellate body determined the map violated established legal principles of fair representation. The court emphasized the importance of ensuring districts are designed to accurately reflect the existing population demographics, as mandated by state law. The decision does not currently affect the future of the redistricting process.
