YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis week, we go over the latest in the court case over Utah's gerrymandered congressional maps and how the GOP-controlled legislature will try to open up a new path of attack so the new map is still likely to elect Republicans or even keep the old map in place for the 2026 election.
It's no secret that Utah's congressional map is gerrymandered, but we finally have an idea what methodology they used to create it. It appears that Republicans targeted Utahns who voted for Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. We'll explain how they did it, and why splitting Biden voters was the key () .
Plus, a conversation with Chris Diaz from the Voting Rights Lab () about President Donald Trump's attack on mailin voting and the current panic about the (nonexistent) threat of noncitizens on voter rolls.
