"In a decisive win for voters, the Utah Supreme Court dismissed the GOP legislature’s appeal in the state’s landmark redistricting case — clearing the way for a fairer congressional map to be used in the 2026 elections.
The ruling delivered Friday ensures that the remedial map adopted last November — one that ends the deliberate splitting of Salt Lake County across four districts — remains in place.
That fairer map creates a district where Democratic voters can meaningfully compete, restoring a measure of balance in a state where they have long been shut out of congressional representation."
