Utah Lawmakers Appeal Map, Democrats Gain Seat

Utah lawmakers plan to appeal a new congressional map, aiming to regain control over district drawing. The map, drawn by the League of Women Voters of Utah and Mormon Women for Ethical Government, creates a Democratic-leaning district around Salt Lake City, potentially giving Democrats an extra seat. The legislature argues that the Utah Constitution grants them the authority to draw congressional districts, not judges or advocacy groups. The new map has sparked controversy, with some calling for the judges impeachment, and a crowded primary emerging in the new First Congressional District. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
