So, apparently there's no thread for this yet, anyways I put together two maps, which are probably the likeliest maps, a commission map, given UT has a commission, and a GOP gerrymander, if the GOP manages to strip the commission of its power or just chooses to ignore it, etc.

Commission map: https://davesredistricting.org/join/9035300e-a97a-4239-9cb7-82000b763bc7

GOP gerrymander: https://davesredistricting.org/join/9f8d6101-f019-45cd-a128-a284f8576808

In the commission map, Democrats get a safe D SLC seat, while the GOP gerrymander would split SLC into oblivion. That seat seems to be the main point of contention, given all of the other seats would be safely Republican given how blood red the state is outside of SLC. I don't expect there to be much discussion about this state, but given there are two competing proposals, I felt that it warrants a thread where we can discuss the proposals.
There's no reason to do such a hideous gerrymander all you have to do is to put the entire city of Salt Lake City with the rest of Eastern Utah and you get 4 safe Republican districts. It looks nice to: https://davesredistricting.org/join/c455fee4-371f-4340-b9a7-aee14b480070

I was able to run 2020 numbers for my Utah map.



UT-1: Trump+21 - Chris Stewart
UT-2: Trump+20 - Blake Moore
UT-3: Trump+21 - Burgess Owens
UT-4: Trump+18 - John Curtis


This is basically Utah maxed out. So if you want to be safe you can probably reduce the 4th to Trump +15 and increase the others to Trump+25 but really this would be fine. I'm guessing as a former mayor of Provo John Curtis will easily outperform Trump numbers.
