Having so many unopposed seats is an embarrassment. It's a result of a cartel that puts every political opponent, small or large, through hell to keep the field toxic to all but their chosen candidates. They spin the lack of opposition as "well we're just so dang good at our jobs that nobody thinks we should be replaced". #utgop #utpol

Gov Spencer Cox dropped in to say hi to us. He was in Washington County yesterday for their county convention. #utgop #utpol

The county party is pushing a "voter roll cleanup". In short, we're being asked to go door-to-door asking if the registered voter still lives there and reporting if they do not. It's being pitched as a voter registration drive, but it feels a lot like that embarrassing post-election snipe hunt in Nevada after the 2020 election. #utgop #utpol

Party chair is talking about getting the word out about party events. They didn't even publish the list of candidates for today on the website as they promised to do 2 weeks ago. There's also never been a record of central committee meeting dates and minutes for anyone to view. #utgop #utpol

Only 120 of the 296 county delegates are here today. Can't say I'm shocked. They did a terrible job of notification and there's little reason to be here without much in the way of candidates. #utgop #utpol

County party treasurer Casey Anderson is going on about how resolutions and amendments are often not heard at state convention. But... that's actually good. Most of them are nonsense pushed by a vocal hyper minority and delegates have little patience for it. That's why they get pushed to the end of the agenda and dropped! #utgop #utpol

Now the party secretary (who has had my name spelled incorrectly on party records for 5 years) is pushing a proposal to get rid of vote by mail. As usual, it's being presented as a "vote integrity" proposal. And he's also demanding that we start to narc on neighbors who have moved and haven't yet updated their own voter registration. This is a farce. #utgop #utpol

First candidate for state central committee is Blaine Nay. He's a former county party chair who repeatedly violated his obligation to candidate neutrality and then tried to claim it was his wife doing it. He's also been cozy with the local Libertarian Party to the point of promoting their members within the party when they switch their registration back and forth. This includes the previous chair Volney Morin who switched party registration 2 months before being the GOP chair, was a member of the Oath Keepers, and is a twice-disbarred lawyer. #utgop #utpol

Ugh. Another caucus fanatic. He's claiming people don't show up because candidates get signatures to get on the ballot. Maybe they don't show up because the party has become a bomb-throwing circus. #utgop #utpol
