This map dilutes Salt Lake County once again. It is the most populous county and therefore deserves to remain largely intact as one Urban district. Why is it being grouped together with so many rural populations once again? This map is a backup to Map C which is intentionally gerrymandered.

This map puts much of Salt Lake County with rural areas. Please don't do that.

I don't like this map and here's why: 1. If the goal is to remove gerrymandering, then why is the legislative committee so gung-ho on making even the SL county district so uncompetitive? 2. The legislative committee keeps saying it wants to keep communities of interest together, yet it keeps mixing urban, suburban, and rural areas together; each has different concerns, strengths, problems, and needs. 3. The committee touts the fact that the percentage of registered Democratic voters only number in the teens; they ignore the fact the Democratic candidates routinely capture 35-40% of the vote statewide. It’s not the percentage of voters that counts, it’s HOW they vote. 4. And finally, there are many ways to test for partisan bias, each test with its strengths, weaknesses, and appropriateness. The best way to test for bias is to use multiple tests that are appropriate to the situation. The ONE test the legislative committee uses is the least appropriate test for Utah.

This map is bad. It breaks up Salt Lake City into multiple parts. Salt Lake City is more than 30% of the state's population.

This map is just another Republican gerrymander. If submitted, it should be rejected by the court. This map carves salt lake county in tow ard assigned both halves to substantially rural districts. This deprives Salt Lake County of ANY representation that is not blended with rural areas. It does the same to Utah County. The notion of blending urban and rural areas into each map should be soundly rejected. This is the only purported virtue of this map.

I think the mix of rural and urban is a red herring and an effort to dilute the vote of some citizens. This seems like the worst of the lot.

This map fails to keep Salt Lake County, the most populous county in our state with 34% of the entire state population as a single community of interest. This map goes against allowing a single group to choose its own representative. The power of the citizenry is diluted with any division of this county.

This map is designed to gerrymander the republican vote.

Hideous split of Millcreek City

Still has the flaw of map c of the cutting salt lake county along a long messy line east to west
