Utah redistricting battle: Small city split into four congressional districts

MILLCREEK, Utah (NewsNation) — A Utah city of 65,000 residents has become ground zero in the state's yearslong battle over partisan redistricting, with all four of the state's congressional districts carved into the small suburban community southeast of Salt Lake City.

Millcreek's unusual division illustrates Utah's ongoing struggle to implement voter-approved nonpartisan redistricting maps.

In 2018, Utah voters approved a ballot measure demanding nonpartisan congressional maps, but years later, those voter-mandated boundaries remain unimplemented.

The city's division means residents can cross different congressional districts simply by visiting nearby businesses.
