‘Irreparably harm’: Utah judge will not pause own ruling in gerrymandering case. But lawmakers get more time to draw maps.

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Judge Dianna Gibson holds a hearing on Utah's congressional maps process, in Salt Lake City on Friday, Aug. 29, 2025. Judge Gibson previously ruled — based on a decision last year by the Utah Supreme Court — that the Legislature had violated voters' constitutional right to make laws when legislators repealed Proposition 4, the citizen-passed Better Boundaries initiative.
