That'd be true if there were fair maps. But the metro has been diluted so significantly with rural voters that I stand by it, SLC has approximately no power in the legislature.
There are so few people in actual rural areas that if you go to a meeting where delegates are allocated by population they are few and far between. The vast majority of the population comes from four counties on the Wasatch Front - Salt Lake, Utah, Davis and Weber - and the next four counties (Washington, Cache, Tooele, and Box Elder) are predominantly urban populations as well.
Imagine trying to fill 10 cups to 51% with one cup of water.
