Judge chooses Utah redistricting map that may help Democrats
2+ week, 5+ day ago (368+ words) Nov. 11 (UPI) -- A Utah judge chose a redistricting map that plaintiffs in a lawsuit submitted instead of the Republican legislature-drawn map, delivering a blow to the state's GOP ahead of next year's midterm elections.

The Republican legislature submitted map C, while the plaintiffs submitted map 1. Gibson said she chose map 1 because map C "fails in many ways to comply with Proposition 4," she wrote in her decision. "In sum, the record overwhelmingly supports the Court's conclusion that Map C exhibits substantial pro-Republican bias," she said. The order came in at around 11:40 p.m. MST Monday, Utah News Dispatch reported, just minutes before the midnight deadline that the state's election officials gave to set a congressional map.
