<\/a>Utah Democratic Party and the Salt Lake County Democratic Party celebrate the Utah Supreme Court\u2019s Decision to respect the result of the 2018 Better Boundaries Initiative. Referendums are meant to act as a check on the power of the legislative branch.

Today, the courts have reaffirmed that the Republican supermajority cannot override the will of the voters. While the lower court must still rule on whether the state must redraw legislative and congressional districts, today\u2019s ruling is a victory for Utah voters against hyper-partisan gerrymandering and will protect future ballot initiatives from legislative overreach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nGood cat times coming soon on this cat channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
