“United Utah Party sues for access on special election ballot”

Deseret News:

A newly formed Utah political party filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the lieutenant governor’s office seeking to gain access to the ballot for the 3rd District special election to replace Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.

The United Utah Party filed suit in U.S. District Court, lodging a complaint against Republican Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox regarding his order to call a special election, and requesting that Cox be prohibited from keeping the United Utah Party’s candidate from the ballot once the party’s bylaws are verified.
