If you think vote counting in the close 4th Congressional District race between Ben McAdams and Mia Love and that of Proposition 4 on redistricting has been excruciatingly slow, you’re right.
But it’s actually better than it was just three years ago.
In 2015, the Salt Lake City race between Jackie Biskupski and two-term incumbent Mayor Ralph Becker, the spread was 4 percentage points, with Biskupski on top. That wasn’t nearly as close as the current squeaker in Utah’s 4th District or the election to determine whether there will be an independent commission to draw political voting maps every 10 years.
