Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.
Utah Representative Justin Fawson (R-District 7th, North Ogden) has introduced HB 68.
It would let Parties decide whether or not to let Candidates Petition onto a Party’s Primary Ballot.
If Parties don’t want to allow Candidates to Petition onto their Primary Ballot, then the only other way to get on a Primary Ballot would be for the Candidate to make a strong showing in a Party Endorsements Meeting.
That was the Law in Utah several years ago.
Ever since the Petition alternative was added, the Utah Republican Party has been Suing in Federal Court to Eliminate the Ability of Candidates to Petition onto the Republican Primary Ballot.
The Lawsuit, Utah Republican Party v Cox, 16-4091, is pending in the Tenth Circuit.
The Utah Republican Party only wants Candidates who do well in Party Meetings.
