A criminal investigation is underway after a county clerk reported several hundred potentially fraudulent signatures turned in as part of the effort to repeal Utah’s 2018 anti-gerrymandering law.

A majority of Utahns — including 55% of Republicans — support the anti-gerrymandering law known as Proposition 4, according to new polling released Monday.

In the final minutes before a Nov. 10 deadline, a Utah judge approved a new congressional map that gives Democrats a strong chance at flipping a U.S. House seat in 2026. And it isn’t the map that Republican state lawmakers wanted.

Elizabeth Rasmussen talks about this week’s evidentiary hearing for Utah’s redistricting case.

On Monday, the Utah Legislative Redistricting Committee reduced the number of maps on the table to one, recommending Map C as the state’s new congressional map.

The new map was the least favorable for Democrats of the six that the Legislature considered, but will still need to be approved by a judge.

In special session, Republican-controlled Utah Legislature votes to approve map C to send to judge for consideration in state’s court-ordered redistricting process

Utah lawmakers unveiled five proposed maps that could be used to redraw the state’s congressional district boundaries for next year’s midterm elections, kicking off a two-week process for lawmakers and the public to weigh in before a final version is adopted Oct. 6.

The ruling by Judge Dianna Gibson will decide if the boundaries of Utah’s four congressional districts need to be redrawn.
