Statement from Chair Brian King on President Trump’s Attack on Prop 4

This is desperation - the same strong-arm playbook, trying to intimidate voters instead of facing the truth. Donald Trump and his Utah Republican backers are desperate because they're finally starting to come to terms with how unpopular their gerrymandering scam actually is. Utahns already voted on Prop 4 and made it crystal clear that they demand fair maps, fair elections, and fair representation.

There's a reason why Republicans are struggling to get the signatures they need and are parachuting Trump in from the sidelines: Utahns don't want them to manipulate our elections. If Republicans want to earn voters’ trust, they should stop cheating and start actually listening to what Utahns want.
