Utah GOP Launches Efforts to Overturn Voter-Approved Prop 4
The Utah Republican Party has launched efforts to undo a voter-approved initiative and a recently approved set of congressional maps.
In Salt Lake City, Utah GOP Chair Rob Axson filed a citizen initiative to repeal Proposition 4, which created an independent redistricting commission, and a referendum to overturn the new congressional map.
Utah voters “did not understand what they were signing up for” when approving Proposition 4
