Utah’s redistricting battle has reached a breaking point, and the stakes go far beyond political outcomes. In this episode, Nic Dunn sits down with public affairs expert Taylor Morgan of Morgan May Public Affairs and Bill Duncan to unpack how one judicially selected congressional map reshaped Utah’s political landscape, sidelined the constitutional role of the legislature, and triggered a deeply consequential fight over who holds redistricting power in our state. From the intentions behind Proposition 4 to the Utah Constitution’s clear assignment of authority, this conversation explains what really happened, and what it means for voters, elections, and the future of policymaking in Utah.
