Utah Supreme Court Unanimously Rules Legislature Overstepped in Proposition 4 Redistricting Case
Jul 11, 2024, 04:11 PM
The Utah Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that the state legislature overstepped its authority by altering a voter-led ballot initiative, Proposition 4, which created an independent redistricting commission. The court's decision reverses a lower court's dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the legislature's actions and allows the case to proceed. This ruling is seen as a significant victory for groups advocating for independent redistricting and representative democracy in Utah, including Better Boundaries. The court emphasized that the people's right to alter or reform their government through initiatives is constitutionally protected. The decision has major implications for Utah's future congressional districts and voter initiatives, affirming that lawmakers violated Utahns' constitutional rights.
