Utah redistricting meeting bombarded with explicit images

TAYLORSVILLE, Utah (AP) — The first meeting of Utah’s independent redistricting committee was cut short after the virtual call was bombarded with explicit images and racist comments. Commission members met in person in Taylorsville, Utah on Tuesday but the public could participate virtually. KSL-TV reports an individual joined the meeting, playing music with explicit lyrics and displaying a pornographic image. The meeting continued after the person was kicked off the chat, but then multiple joined the call posing as Russian hackers. Some of them blared music and used racial slurs. The commission chairman eventually called for the meeting to be adjourned about an hour earlier than it was scheduled to conclude.
