Final Utah election returns show that Proposition Four, setting up an independent redistricting commission for U.S. House and state legislative boundaries, passed with 50.3% of the vote.  The final tally is:  yes 512,218; no 505,274.

The measure failed in 25 of Utah’s 29 counties.  It passed only in Carbon, Grand, Salt Lake, and Summit Counties.  Grand and Summit Counties are the most Democratic Party-supporting counties in the state.  They are the only two counties that voted in favor of the 2018 Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate (Jenny Wilson) against Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
