Republican-Appointed Judge Tosses GOP Map in Utah
Update: 2025-11-11
Description
A Utah judge on Monday struck down a GOP-drawn map that would have locked in Republican control of all four congressional districts, giving Democrats a shot at a House seat in the deep-red state.
District Judge Dianna Gibson, appointed by former Republican Gov. Gary Herbert, ruled that the GOP’s new map “fails to abide by and conform with the requirements” of a 2018 ballot measure that created a nonpartisan redistricting standard in the state. Gibson instead selected a Democrat-backed proposal that consolidates much of Salt Lake City into a single, left-leaning district.
