10th Circuit Court shoots down another appeal of Utah’s signature-gathering law

Federal courts have dealt another defeat to a group of Republicans seeking to shoot down the Utah election law that allows candidates to gather signatures to qualify for the primary ballot.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday denied a request for a rehearing of the appeal by all of the court’s judges.

But supporters of the ongoing lawsuit against the election law, SB54, said they always expected the case to go before the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We’re going to pursue this to the Supreme Court, that’s always been the plan,” said Brandon Beckham, of the anti-SB54 group Keep My Voice.
