[EL] Query re: Utah Republican Party v. Herbert et al 14-00876

[Richard Winger]

Being just a "registered Political party" is, as I understand it, almost like not being a government-recognized party at all.  The party's nominees would need to submit a petition to appear on the general election ballot and they would not be in a party column on the ballot with a party heading.
The Constitution Party of Utah is a "qualified political party".

Does anyone on the list know why the Utah Republican Party opted to be certified as a “Qualified Political Party” subject to the forced open primary provision rather than as a “Registered Political Party”?  I assume that the Constitution Party of Utah did not have the requisite support to meet the demands of a RPP.
Thanks much.
