A Utah county says Grayeyes a Navajo man won't qualify to run in the first election since a judge ruled voting districts were illegally drawn based on race. San Juan County said Friday, May 11, 2018, an investigation showed Grayeyes doesn't live in the district, despite being registered to vote there for decades.

A judge rules that San Juan County Commission candidate Willy Grayeyes be put back on the ballot after an elections official backdated a complaint against him. U.S. Senate candidates Mitt Romney and Jenny Wilson offer differing takes on the cause of western wildfires. And Rep. Mia Love receives flack for a misleading mailer she sent to her constituents.
