Utah Gerrymandered

Post by hauslern »

At least Utah does not have to worry about the peaceful transfer of power - Gerrymandering has fixed that.

Utah is listed as one of the 10 most gerrymandered states in the US. All GOP except maybe Maryland.

I read the letters to the deseret news and most are full MAGA.

It's divided up so Mormons will always be in charge, with gentiles never in a power cluster.

Where is this list so I can read it, too?

That's neither proof nor evidence of gerrymandering.

The most gerrymandered states in the U.S. include:

North Carolina: Has used Districts 1 and 12 for minority voters.
Maryland: Uses broken districts to give an advantage to Democrats.
Pennsylvania: Divides its major urban areas among other districts.
Kentucky: Places urban populations in rural districts.
Louisiana: Combined Baton Rouge and New Orleans into one district to minimize Democratic votes.
Utah: Divides Salt Lake City into surrounding rural districts.
Texas: Has tried to propose districts that would unfairly affect minority voters.
Arkansas: Has drawn district boundaries to balance out city voters with rural voters.
Ohio: Unfairly distributed districts in a partisan way.

I miss having EA here, he was an expert on this subject. He pointed out once that in North Carolina the state Republicans funded a study to determine voting trends and then right after they got their results they immediately passed legislation to disenfranchise minority voters. The judge called it out for being racist when he rebuked it.

No, because he hasn’t demonstrated how full MAGA letters to the Deseret News count as evidence for gerrymandering.

The links he provided, the information contained therein and that you requested to read, ought to do the trick. Give ‘em a click.
