Utah! Time to comment on the redistricting maps! Here are some of the comments I left.

On the excellent maps provided as examples of deliberate gerrymandering, I said: "Brady Brammer's bill is a bad-faith attempt to muddy the waters surrounding the purpose of Prop 4: to end gerrymandering. Maps like this, which pass his partisan bias test, show that the test does not prevent egregious gerrymandering. Shame on our legislature for using public money to fight the public."

On the Escamilla/Owens map, I said: "I support maps like this that end gerrymandering and keep communities together while following Prop 4. We should have had a map like this since Prop 4 passed in 2018. The Utah legislator is acting with hostility toward the voters by delaying. We have waited long enough. Shame on them for using public money to fight the public."
