This is legal but it shouldn't be. This is the second appointment for the Utah GOP following #2022Elections. The other was House District 1 with Rep. Joel Ferry. This is done so that the seat stays with the party of the resigning legislator, and instead of district-wide voters picking their rep, the party does it. In two years, if the person runs for election, they're an incumbent. It's an electoral scam and shouldn't be allowed. #utpol #utdem #utgop #electoralscams

Was Warnock’s election to Senate in 2020 a special election? I’m wondering why he has to run again now in 2022. Does the 1/3 rule for Senate elections not care if the incumbent hasn’t served a full 6 years if they weren’t voted in via special election? Google isn’t being helpful in answering this for me? #warnock #2022elections
