The complaint in Utah Republican Party v. Herbert alleges that SB 54, which changed the process for nominating candidates — ostensibly to “open” the electoral system — violates the party’s associational rights.   In addition to its constitutional claim, the party alleges that the law infringes its trademark. Richard Davis has this analysis of the intra-party fight. Governor Herbert has walked back a spokesman’s statement that seemed to cast doubt on the statute’s constitutionality.
