In terms of EVs, then yes. But at the congressional level, who knows? The most rabidly conservative part of Utah currently has a Democratic congressman.
-inner Salt Lake City
-the old mining area (a former Dem stronghold)
-the most touristy parts
Very close, Lewis. Actually, after the last redistricting, Salt Lake City and the other Dem-leaning parts of Salt Lake County were carved up between Utah's three Congressional Districts. A bit of Salt Lake City is in the 1st and the rest is in the 2nd. West Valley City is in the 3rd. True, the 2nd district also includes the old mining areas (Eastern Utah, around the city of Price) and the touristy parts (Park City), but they are balanced out with the rural west and south, and also includes the high-growth area of St. George. It creates a toss-up district, or a leaning-Rep. district, even though the current Rep. (Matheson) is a Democrat (very independent, conservative, and the son of a very popular former governor.)
I believe, if a fourth Representative is added, then the 2nd district reverts back to just Salt Lake City and eastern Salt Lake County, becoming reliably Democratic, and the other three districts would be strongly Republican.
The most rabidly conservative part of Utah (Utah County, including Provo) is in the 3rd district.
