TAYLORSVILLE The chair of the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission said Tuesday that it s possible the commission could start designing its first drafts of state voting maps in August, which would be a month earlier than what was originally expected based on 2020 Census delays.
If so, it has nothing to do with new data released by the Census Bureau Monday and everything to do with what the Census Bureau announced last month. Agency officials said on March 15 it is expected to release legacy format data in mid-to-late August, which is raw data not compiled into simpler tables and tools for states using the information to create voting boundaries.

TAYLORSVILLE Utah s independent redistricting committee meeting was cut short Tuesday evening after several people hacked the meeting s video conference call with explicit images and language.
The bizarre ending came less than an hour into the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission meeting where the six current members of the committee were receiving training from a Utah Attorney General s Office representative over how public meetings could be handled.
While most of the members of the team met in person, a link from the video conference app Zoom was made available for the general public to listen in. Anyone with a Zoom account could join the meeting. A few dozen people had joined via the video conference call with no disruptions for the beginning of the meeting.
