Lawyers for the state of Utah are asking a judge to reject a lawsuit challenging the legislature's controversial congressional redistricting maps.
In a pair of motions filed in 3rd District Court on Monday, the Utah Attorney General's Office and the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel signaled they were seeking to dismiss the lawsuit.
The Utah Attorney General's Office, representing Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, basically asked for her to be dismissed from the lawsuit. In her role, Lt. Gov. Henderson is the chief elections officer for the state of Utah. The Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel told the judge it would be seeking a dismissal, arguing the legislature was well within its prerogative.
