Letter: Eliminating democracy in Utah

OK, now I’m beginning to understand.

The Utah Theocratic Republican Party is on a campaign to reduce democratic practices in Utah by:

  • Eliminating the impact of citizens’ initiatives, making them nothing but expensive public opinion polls.

  • Eliminating the public election of the State School Board members. 

I suppose the next logical move would be constitutional changes for the creation of a State Legislative Election Review Board to review the results of all elections. Certain victors not meeting “standards” would be replaced by someone “more appropriate.”
