“A three-judge panel declined to block Utah’s new congressional map on Monday, ruling that Republicans’ challenge to the court-ordered district lines was unlikely to succeed and that it was too close to the election to change the map. The map puts most of Salt Lake City into one district, making it likely Democrats will pick up a House seat. The Republican plaintiffs had argued that the state judge violated the U.S. Constitution in implementing the current map. They had sought a preliminary injunction, which would have blocked the map from being used before this year’s midterm elections, when control of the House is at stake.” (02/23/26)
