Letter: Utah Republicans seem to like the Iranian model of elections. But we haven’t given up.

When I see Sen. Lindsey Graham in tears over the persecution his dear leader is suffering — well, I get out my check book. Let’s see. The DNC. Planned Parenthood. The Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

And let us not forget Better Boundaries here in Utah. We collected signatures under a hot sun to get Prop 4 on the 2018 ballot in Utah and lo and behold the miracle; it got on the ballot and won. Yay, we won and so we got an independent commission to set voter district boundaries, right? The people had spoken, right? Hooray for democracy, right?

Sorry. No.

The Republican Legislature simply paid it no attention and proceeded to carve up voter districts designed to help Republicans. Utah Republicans seem to like the Iranian model of elections. Sure, go ahead and have an election and then the mullahs will decide.

And why should the mullahs have the final word? Well, because they get the word directly from God. What are a few miserable people participating in an election compared to God, with whom, by the way, they themselves have a special relationship.

But we haven’t given up. We haven’t heard the last word yet. https://betterboundaries.org/
