Gov. Spencer Cox said he doesn't plan to call a special session to overturn SB54 after Sen. Mike Lee urged him to address the law that created the dual paths to the primary ballot in 2014.

A majority of @UtahGOP delegates who responded to our survey question (724 total votes) said they OPPOSE revoking party membership from Republican candidates who use the signature path. https://t.co/zsZS2xWuW5

@CountMyVoteUtah @UtahGOP Keep up the great work. Most true Republicans support your work.

[Jeff Stenquist 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 @JeffStenquist]

Thank you @CountMyVoteUtah!

The @UtahGOP delegates avoided making a disastrous choice. This time. And just barely.

Without a complete overhaul the caucus system will die.

[Tammy Hodson @ParkerMama]

I'm grateful for Count My Vote and their continued dedication to ALL Utah Republican voters. Let us know how we can help!

[Count My Vote @CountMyVoteUtah]

Even after 11 years, a few self-interested politicians and party insiders still don’t seem to understand or want to accept the fact that the @UtahGOP  doesn’t belong to them; it belongs to and derives its power from ALL Utah Republican voters.

We remain committed to our mission and are prepared to take action to ensure that all Utah voters will continue to have a voice in our elections.

After winning his reelection, @UtahGOP chair @RobertAxson says he would like to push for the repeal of SB54, but thinks it only has support in the House, not the Senate.

Utah Republican Party Chairman Rob Axson will serve another two years at the helm of the state's largest political party after narrowly defeating challenger Phil Lyman. https://t.co/9D7iQHHvrW

The first BIG surprise of the day at the @UtahGOP convention, delegates have decided NOT to vote on the amendment that would have stripped party membership from signature-gathering candidates.

They voted to yank it off the agenda. @abc4utah #utpol

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

#BREAKING @UtahGOP delegates have voted to STRIKE the amendment that strips party membership from signature gathering candidates from the agenda.

That means they WON'T be voting on it today. That is a SIGNIFICANT development because that was one of the big debate items that could have had serious consequences for the party.

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

#NEW: Another text survey of @utahgop delegates from @CountMyVoteUtah shows how they could be leaning on a proposal to strip party membership from candidates who gather signatures. They'll vote on it tomorrow -- and in short, it's close. @abc4utah #utpol

Utah Republican delegates will consider stripping party membership from candidates who opt to collect signatures to qualify for the primary ballot during the party's convention Saturday. https://t.co/MfE38SDbpv

[Count My Vote @CountMyVoteUtah]

@goud4utah @LindsayOnAir Correct, we're sending opt-in text survey questions to all current @UtahGOP state delegates. While the number of responses relative to total delegates is robust, we've been clear that this survey is NOT a scientific study and the results are not weighted.

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

NEW @UtahGOP DELEGATE SURVEY: We're getting a peek into delegate mindsets ahead of Saturday's vote for the chair of the Utah GOP. A new survey shows @RobertAxson with a lead over @phil_lyman. READ MORE👇@abc4utah #utpol https://t.co/AMgro3UQZm

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

NEW: @UtahGOP delegates are slated to consider stripping party membership from its candidates who gather signatures at their state party convention May 17. If passed, it could have grave consequences on nominating candidates via convention. @abc4utah

[Count My Vote @CountMyVoteUtah]

Utah voters, especially @UtahGOP voters, strongly prefer signatures or the dual path to nominate party candidates over caucuses and conventions only.

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

NEW: It's the decade-old debate in Utah: Should candidates use the Caucus/Convention path, signatures, or both to qualify for a primary ballot? New polling commissioned by @CountMyVoteUtah shows Utahns want both paths. @abc4utah #utpol

Heartfelt discussion about Utah election reform with @stantheman87 and @curtbramble hosted by @SutherlandInst yesterday. We've come a long way, but there's work left to do!

UTAH GOP CAUCUS by the numbers: @UtahGOP turnout for Super Tuesday 2024 is about 9%.

In 2016, the last time the party held a presidential vote at caucus night, turnout was 29%.

The presidential primary in 2020, a state run primary, 49%. @KSL5TV

[Lindsay Aerts @LindsayOnAir]

NEW: @UtahGOP has opted out of the 2024 Presidential primary. Instead, members must vote in a presidential preference poll on caucus night.

Chair @RobertAxson said saves taxpayer money/ incentives turnout. Exec Dir. of @CountMyVoteUtah blasted the move.
