Carbon County has a tradition of Democratic politics due to it's large non-LDS population and union control of mine workers. Emery is not a Democratic county.
Yes. Matheson essentially won a SL valley district. If gerrymandering is unfavorable, it is almost always an attempt to defeat an incumbent from a different party than the apportioners.
Anything else Dr. Princess?
