SALT LAKE CITY -- The internal Democratic Party battle that has emerged in this year’s primaries between progressive and moderate candidates will play out Tuesday in an unlikely place, reliably red Utah. A redraw of U.S. House districts has created a solidly left-leaning seat in the Salt Lake City area, prompting a flood of interest among Democrats. Former U.S. Rep.
