Judge Shuts Down Republican Supermajority’s Elitist Power-Grab

September 11, 2024, Salt Lake City - UDP Chair Diane Lewis released the following statement today:

“Today’s ruling is a victory for Utahns. It confirms that the Republican Supermajority’s attempt to take away the power of the voters and give it to political elites was as poorly planned as it was corrupt. Our system of checks and balances is functioning exactly as the framers of our state’s constitution intended it to - protecting voters from misleading ballot language hand-crafted by the MAGA extremists who run the Republican Supermajority. 

However, the Republican Supermajority’s pattern of bad behavior proves that they will not accept this ruling. There is nothing to stop them from trying to take away voters’ rights in another year. The only way to guarantee an end to the Republican Supermajority’s corrupt power-grabs is by voting them out.”
