Utah 2020 Redistricting

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

The Independent Commission's draft maps are available on their website. Direct links:

• Congress
• State Senate
• State House
• State Board of Education

They're... kinda all weird/bad?

The state legislative redistricting committee won't publish any draft maps until they've concluded their public hearings, which begin this week.

As of yesterday, both the commission and the legislative committee have started accepting maps from the public. Links to submit maps are found here for the Independent Commission, and here for the legislative committee. If you export your DRA maps as block assignment CSVs, you should be able to import them into the ESRI redistricting software that both groups are using.

Those would all be deep red…

So much for “independent commission” fighting gerrymandering

The congressional one is just a simple least change map.

Both of you seem to have missed the bar along the top that allows you to switch between different draft maps; there's something like ten different ones for Congress, only one of which can be construed as a least change map. The commission divided into three groups a couple weeks ago which are drawing different maps. The map shown by default is the one that Rob Bishop's team drew and was discussed earlier in this thread; I doubt there's any significance to it being the default map visible. The draft maps will be revised based on feedback from hearings across the state (which started yesterday) and then narrowed down to three in November.

well I am dumb. That's what I get for tying to look at it on my phone without my glasses

Orange Congressional 3 Draft 2 is my favorite congressional draft map. One SLC district, one Provo district, a north and a south

I made a 3-1 Utah map, I purposely made the Dem district look more rural than the GOP ones.

This is the kind of absurdist map making I live for
