Justin Stapley asks: Did Evan McMullin just break Utah’s SB54?
Independent candidate finds a way around law that was supposed to open up the primary process in Utah.
For those unfamiliar with SB54, it created a second path to becoming a party’s nominee beyond getting the nod from a party’s delegates at the state convention. The argument went that too few average Utahns were participating in our system of neighborhood caucuses, leading to a situation where delegates at convention failed to reflect the average voters of their party and thrust poor and unrepresentative candidates upon the electorate.
With this in mind, let’s consider what just happened with Evan McMullin in the Democratic convention. Evan McMullin is not a Democrat. He didn’t collect signatures to get into a primary run-off. Delegates did not vote on his candidacy for the Democratic Party. Instead, by a 57% to 43% margin, the Without collecting a single signature and without even gaining 60% support of Democratic delegates, Evan McMullin has removed an official Democratic contender from his Senate race without ever facing affirmation from Democratic primary voters. He has essentially become the Democrat’s nominee without having to go through the typical process to do so, and, arguably, has hurtled a lower bar to do so.
