Utah Independent Candidate Suspends Ballot Label Case To Give Legislature a Chance to Solve Problem

Marsha Holland has asked a U.S. District Court to suspend her election law lawsuit until April 1, 2020, because the state elections office has agreed to ask the legislature to fix the problem that she complained about. She was Utah’s only independent candidate on the ballot for any federal or state office in the 2018 election, so she was the only victim of a new law that gives independent candidates a harmful ballot label.

If the legislature does not change the law by early in the 2020 session, the case will be revived. The label says that an independent candidate is “not qualified” to be a party nominee. The case is Holland v Cox, 4:18cv-74.
