Utah Republican Party Appeals to Tenth Circuit in Open Primary Lawsuit

The Utah Republican Party has asked the Tenth Circuit to hear its appeal in Utah Republican Party v Herbert. The issue is the state law that requires parties to let candidates who have little support at party meetings to try to petition their way onto the primary ballot. In the Tenth Circuit, there are three case numbers: 16-4058, 16-4091, and 16-4098. The U.S. District Court had upheld the state law. The Republican Party does not want anyone on its primary ballot unless he or she showed substantial support at a party caucus.
