(Salt Lake City, UT) — A Utah judge is refusing a request to dismiss a lawsuit challenging the state’s redrawn congressional maps. The ruling issued yesterday rejected the state’s motion to end the lawsuit filed by groups such as the League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. They sued the state last year, objecting to the way lawmakers moved voting boundaries to split Salt Lake City into four separate congressional districts. The judge also refused to dismiss Utah lawmakers from the ongoing court action.
