The effort will bring together Better Boundaries — which led the anti-gerrymandering initiative that is the primary target of the constitutional amendment — with partners in the Let Utah Vote Coalition, which includes Stewardship Utah, the Disability Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union.
“This is a complete power grab,” said Katie Wright, executive director of Better Boundaries. “We’re not alone in being frustrated with it. People have really rallied.”
Wright also anticipates the plaintiffs in Better Utah’s lawsuit against the Legislature — The League of Women Voters and Mormon Women For Ethical Government — will be part of the effort.
Another anti-amendment group, the People’s Initiative Reform Coalition, filed paperwork with the state elections office earlier this week to create a political issues committee, or PIC.
