The measure became "Proposal 2" on the 2018 ballot, and was approved by a vote of 61% of We The People. The old GOP majority in Lansing immediately went into a lame duck session to try to invalidate the clear choice of We The People, and enact laws to prevent We The People from ever changing the state Constitution again.
Utah voters passed a ballot initiative to have districts drawn by a non-partisan board. The Utah legislature, controlled by Republicans, has been fighting it. First they just made a rule to invalidate the election results. Then a Utah judge told the no, the couldn't do that. Now they are trying again. They pushed back all the filing dates for 2026, but only for 2026, in order to have more time to try to invalidate the ballot initiative. I think they are hoping the Utah State Supreme Court will side with them. It's Utah, so they might be right, but I cannot see how they should be able to invalidate the ballot measure that was passed by a majority of Utah voters.
MADDENING!
