“Political insiders have described the 3rd District race as the ugliest they’ve seen in years. But they shouldn’t be so surprised. The effort to reform Utah’s election system after Bennett’s loss, known as the “Count My Vote” legislation, or SB54, forced the party to change its nominating procedures so that candidates could seek the party’s nomination outside of convention procedures. . . It’s almost enough to make a girl think the people behind SB54 are just going to keep demanding rule changes until, dammit, stubborn Utah voters finally learn to vote the “right” way.”
