Voters wanted a non-partisan commission. The Republicans ignored their wishes.
Utah’s @GovCox says he won’t veto aggressive GOP gerrymander bc if voters want to stop this they can vote accordingly.

Utahns voted for redistricting reform in a referendum!
that lawmakers then gutted before gerrymandering!
lawmakers who’re gerrymandering their own districts! https://t.co/pugpZ7RInK
Takes a lot of chutzpah to tell voters upset about gerrymandering to vote their way out of it when Utahns voted for an independent redistricting commission in 2018 and then the state legislature just junked it via statue a year later. https://t.co/g89nQqmV0M

🚨ALERT: Utah Republicans approve gerrymandered congressional map that further cements Republican power in the state and cracks Salt Lake County into 4 different districts, ignoring the recommendations of the new independent redistricting commission. https://t.co/AJIjXdfh9Z

POLITICIANS CHOOSING VOTERS—Look at this crap… Utah has now cut its biggest city into 4 different congressional districts—for no reason other than to maintain 100% GOP power with 4Republican-0Democrat seats in Congress. Gerrymandering is so corrupt. #gerrymandering pic.twitter.com/gyMY7neMTZ

I'm highly disappointed by the Utah legislature's decision today to gerrymander our congressional districts to prevent fair competition in our state. Gerrymandering destroys government accountability and fuels extremism. I urge Gov @SpencerJCox to veto. https://t.co/uAJtlnBcpN
