The Utah Republican Party says it's delivered more than 200,000 signatures from Utahns who would like to repeal Proposition 4, the 2018 initiative that created an independent redistricting commission. Utahns for Representative Government delivered the final signature packets to county clerks yesterday afternoon. Now, it's up to county clerks to verify the signatures, make sure there's enough, and make sure they come from the right number of State Senate Districts.
In this Deep Dive, Maria Shilaos hears from people on several sides of the issue: Robert Axson from Utahns for Representative Government, Emma Petty Addams with Mormon Women for Ethical Government, and Elizabeth Rasmussen with Better Boundaries.
Taylor Morgan, executive director of Count My Vote also joins to share insights on the requirements to get the question on the ballot in November.
