Special Session with Bryan Schott

The Utah GOP finds the redistricting UNO reverse card


Listen Later

Utah Republican Party announced a dual strategy to combat court-ordered redistricting and repeal Prop 4.

Referendum on Option C Map (00:04:33)

  • GOP launching statewide referendum to overturn legislature's newly passed congressional map
  • Needs 134,000 signatures by November 15th
  • Must hit signature targets in 15 of 29 Senate districts

Initiative to Repeal Prop 4 (00:09:05)

  • Only needs 70,000 signatures to submit directly to legislature
  • Would repeal 2018 voter-approved independent redistricting commission
  • Gives lawmakers political cover since it comes from "the people"
  • Legislature likely to pass with veto-proof majority

Timeline Crunch (00:30:47)

  • Court must pick new map by November 10th
  • Hearings scheduled October 23-24
  • Additional hearing November 3rd on legislature's new redistricting law (SB 101)
  • Multiple opportunities for delays through appeals

Tip Jar: This political hellscape doesn't document itself. Throw some cash in the tip jar and help me keep calling out the BS without having to sell my soul to corporate overlords.
