“Rep. Justin Fawson, R-North Ogden, said Count My Vote favors wealthy candidates. “The Count My Vote initiative is focused on consolidating control of ballot access to those wealthy enough to run the largest campaigns,” Fawson said. “They have no interest in improving or maintaining the caucus and convention system or the representation of voters.” “This is not an improvement to the process. It’s a systematic dismantling of a process that has made us a top-performing state in the nation,” Fawson said. “The division that exists today can be credited to Count My Vote.”
