Utah GOP Launches Efforts to Overturn Voter-Approved Prop 4
The Utah Republican Party has launched efforts to undo a voter-approved initiative and a recently approved set of congressional maps.
In Salt Lake City, Utah GOP Chair Rob Axson filed a citizen initiative to repeal Proposition 4, a 2018 measure that created an independent redistricting commission. A referendum was also filed to overturn the new congressional map passed by lawmakers in a special session.
Utah voters “did not understand what they were signing up for” when approving Proposition 4
Proposition 4 passed narrowly with 50.34% of the vote, with 512,000 votes in favor and 505,000 against. The measure established a seven-member independent commission to draw and recommend congressional and legislative maps for the Utah Legislature’s approval.
