The state’s highest court issued a decision allowing a redistricting lawsuit to move forward in July .

The proposed amendment passed 54-21 , 20 -21 in the House and 20-8 in the Senate , clearing both with more than two-thirds approval.

Utah Supreme Court affirms district court's decision to affirm the district court’s decision.

Amendment D is void and no votes will be counted.
