Utah state legislators will redraw the state's congressional districts, starting Monday in a special session, to add a fourth congressional district. The move is in response to a Congressional bill that appears likely to soon pass, giving the District of Columbia a voting seat in Congress. The bill proposes a trade-off of creating a new seat in Utah, likely ensuring the Dems and GOP will each gain one seat apiece. In the 2002 reapportionment, Utah fell only a few hundred residents short of the amount needed to gain one more seat. The bill would increase the size of the US House to 437 voting seats
Great news for DC residents to finally have a voice in Congress, Imean I know they have a non-voting delagate but it isn't the same cause that person can't vote on the House floor.
