Utah GOP passed a congressional map, in response to a court ruling forcing them, that makes 2 of the state's 4 ruby red districts much tighter — though neither of them leans blue as the spirit of the ruling asked for.

One should be quite competitive next year, the other in a (very) blue wave.

so our legislature gerrymandered it before trump took office - several groups sued because they ignored the referendum on 'better boundaries' and the state supreme court said they had to redraw them - all before trump got involved - the districts got tightened up and makes it a bit competitive now.

I say we take away taxpayer-funded health care from members of Congress and see what kind of shutdown they’re willing to stage when their coverage is on the line. Maybe then they’d stop playing games with the ACA and the lives of millions of Americans.
