On April 4, the Utah Supreme Court heard arguments in the Republican Party’s lawsuit over how it should nominate candidates. The state law seems to say that candidates seeking the nomination of a qualified party who don’t have much support at a party caucus can still get on a primary ballot. The method for such candidates is a petition. The Republican Party doesn’t want anyone to be able to get on its primary ballot by petition. That issue is in federal court. But the federal court asked the State Supreme Court to interpret Utah law. Specifically, the federal court wants the State Supreme Court to say whether the petition procedure is mandatory for all parties, or whether parties that don’t like it can shut out petitioning candidates.
