To the editor:
Your editorial of Oct. 9 is quite right about the unfairness of the Republican-dominated Legislature's plan for redistricting the voting areas of our state. Reapportionment should indeed be fair.However, you failed to make one very important point. If the Republicans in this state and Legislature keep on their present direction, they will disenfranchise many Democrats and create a one-party system in Utah.
One-party rule is nothing more or less than totalitarian dictatorship. It simply is not possible that all honor and wisdom rest in the Republican Party. The Republicans actually do not have a corner on intelligence and good judgment.
This ridiculous redistricting plan of the Republican legislators is blatantly unfair and dishonest. Surely there are some honest, fair-minded members of that legislative body who will give the boot to this present plan when the lawmakers meet Oct. 28.
