Question

Accepted Answer

Utah voters approved Proposition 4 (Better Boundaries) in November 2018 by a razor-thin margin of 50.34% to 49.66%—just 6,944 votes out of over 1 million cast. This narrow victory showed deep divisions among Utahns over whether to strip the Legislature's redistricting power. The close vote emboldened GOP lawmakers to argue they had political cover to gut the initiative, since nearly half of voters opposed it. Speaker Brad Wilson later said he regretted the 2020 compromise that saved Prop 4 from immediate legislative repeal.
