No Republican candidates on the Utah ballot this year? It’s a possibility after planned fix falters.

Or, alternatively, the ballot listing only those Republicans who gathered signatures, while others who went through the GOP convention are shut out.

Republicans say those scenarios are a growing possibility now that the Legislature failed to pass a bill designed to fix problems caused by a recent bylaw change adopted by the Republican State Central Committee.

The fix-it bill, HB485, passed the House. It was on the Senate calendar awaiting action Thursday night when the Legislature adjourned as required at midnight — so it died.
