Utah SB 91 will not pass the Utah legislature this year, according to this news story. It would have ended the nomination process now in place, in which candidates can get on primary ballots either by winning at a state party meeting, or petitioning to get on the primary ballot.
On February 26, the Mississippi House Constitution Committee passed HCR 47. It the legislature passes it, then the voters would be asked if they want to amend the State Constitution to delete the requirement that a winning gubernatorial candidate must carry a majority of state house districts. Instead the voters would simply choose the Governor without regard to where the votes come from. If no one got a majority in the general election, there would be a run-off two weeks later.
