Badabinski ,

As others have said, Utah is, in fact, heavily gerrymandered. We even had a ballot initiative that passed in 2018 demanding that the legislature draw more fair maps. Rather than do that, the shitfucks at the capitol came up with maps that were somehow even worse. Like, we have some real idiots in this state who want to be abused by fascists for some reason. I'm also an idiot, but I am firmly progressive and do not want to suck on a fascist's boot, and I'm not alone. Utah may be red, but Salt Lake City is very, very blue.

This article does a pretty good job of discussing how fucked the situation here is: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/11/us/redistricting-map-utah-salt-lake-city.html
