A Utah judge on Tuesday adopted a new electoral map that will create a Democratic-leaning district. Judge Dianna Gibson rejected a proposal from Republicans, who currently hold all four of the state’s U.S. House seats, saying their map "unduly favors Republicans."

Instead, the new map will keep Salt Lake County almost entirely within one district, rather than it being split into four. The result gives Democrats a chance to pick up a seat in next year’s midterm elections, as they try to counter Republican redistricting efforts in states like Texas, Missouri, and elsewhere.
