On June 2, a trial court judge in Utah refused to enjoin the law that requires most candidates to file for office in-person. The plaintiff-candidate, Chia-Chi Teng, is currently in China. Utah law permits government employees and members of the military to avoid the requirement, but Professor Teng works for Brigham Young University, so he is not a state employee. See this story. The candidate may appeal to the Utah Supreme Court. He is running for Congress in the special election, 3rd district. The case is Teng v Cox, Salt Lake County, 17-0903450.
