On March 9, the Utah legislature passed HB 204. It says in future presidential years, Utah will hold presidential primaries. The bill does not include details such as how candidates get on the ballot, or when the primary will be, or whether all qualified parties are included. Those will be fleshed out in next year’s legislature session.

Excellent. This will allow removing anti Trump wackos like Mike Lee via primary.

Mike Lee happens to be one of the strongest defenders of the principles of liberty and the Constitution in the entire Senate. he’s one of the two or three best senators.

Besides, this has to do with presidential primaries.

Good news. Now we need other states to follow suit. Let the people decide.

Well as long as it’s a closed primary. Otherwise you get McTraitor and Linda.
