Utah to gain a 4th Congressional District

Utah state legislators will redraw the state's congressional districts, starting Monday in a special session, to add a fourth congressional district. The move is in response to a Congressional bill that appears likely to soon pass, giving the District of Columbia a voting seat in Congress. The bill proposes a trade-off of creating a new seat in Utah, likely ensuring the Dems and GOP will each gain one seat apiece. In the 2002 reapportionment, Utah fell only a few hundred residents short of the amount needed to gain one more seat. The bill would increase the size of the US House to 437 voting seats ...

This is very intresting but hopefully while drawing up the 4th District they don't try to garrymander Jim Matheson District cause I know they tried to to this before.

1. Utah to gain a 4th Congessional District

I have been following this, I am currently residing just outside of Salt Lake City. From what I have read, the proposed redistricting will have an effect on Jim Matheson, but it should still secure the one Utah seat that Democrats hold in the 2nd District.
