Until then, here's the top three takeaways from Monday's exercise and what it means for the now-seven-year-long fight for fair maps. The Legislature has long had a habit of "cracking" Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County in order to dilute the franchise of left-leaning voters. Salt Lake County is too populous to be fully contained within a single congressional district. The remaining two designs include "doughnut hole" districts centered in Salt Lake County. What this appears designed to do is provide a justification for Republican lawmakers to refuse to draw a district within Salt Lake County, in the guise of "fighting" gerrymandering.
