Utah 2020 Redistricting

[Skill and Chance]

Any updates on how much they intend to interfere with the commission and whether they have the votes to do it?

Really weird divide on which states are being aggressive with redistricting and which aren't.  Many suburban R's really do seem to fear a rural-dominated primary more than a competitive GE.

FWIW if the Utah Supreme Court does rule that the legislature can't override the commission, there isn't much the legislature can do about it anytime soon without a constitutional amendment (which would have to pass in another statewide referendum).  Utah Supreme Court justices are nominated by the governor and confirmed by the state senate, equivalent to the federal system.  They can serve for life if they want to, as long as they win retention elections every 10 years.  Also, the number of justices is fixed at 5 in the state constitution.
