Utah Supreme Court has ruled a lawsuit alleging state lawmakers illegally nullified an anti-gerrymandering initiative passed by voters in 2018 can move forward, Court documents filed Thursday show.Proposition 4 demanded that an independent redistricting commission be created that would draw district lines non-partisanly.But the Utah legislature then passed Senate Bill 200, which diminished the redistricting commission to nothing more than an advisory role and continued allowing lawmakers to draw their own districts. The League of Women Voters and the Mormon Women for Ethical Government responded with a lawsuit saying the newly drawn maps were illegal.
