You guys are so scared of Utahns being given the opportunity to remove their names once they find out they were lied to, that you’ll do anything, including changing the rules at the literal 11th hour. It’s pretty pathetic, honestly.
Utahns for Representative Government@RepealProp4

⬇️ These deceptive practices are now ILLEGAL. Thank you, @utahhousereps, @utahsenate and @GovCox. For the last month, lawmakers heard from constituents concerned about the practices of Better Boundaries. Even Rep. Blake Moore, an original founder of B.B., urged that the campaign to remove signatures end. As of TODAY, there will be no postage provided to initiative signers to trick them into removing their signature. The law did not change the amount of time a person has to remove their signature, and any removals already requested will be processed. Utahns want a vote to Repeal Prop 4, and they have earned that opportunity this November.

I wonder if MWEG and LWV will have regrets about Prop 4 in November when the very blue district 1 produces a super liberal and 3 very conservative members of Congress?

After four months of delays, denials, appeals, lawsuits, and temper tantrums, the GOP has lost….again. Utah WILL have fair maps for 2026. And the voters WILL continue to uphold Prop 4.

#BREAKING NEWS: In a ruling that could be a final blow to the Utah legislature's effort to block a judge-imposed redistricted Congressional map for 2026, a federal panel of judges has DENIED the request to enjoin Utah's new map ahead of the midterms. @abc4utah #utpol

Utah Supreme Court DENIES request to postpone signature submission deadline for Prop 4 repeal. Utahns for Representative Government failed to show the request was timely or warranted SC intervention. UFRG has until 5pm Sunday to submit the 141,000 verified signatures.

Thought this was a very correct and very well-written take on…whatever all of that was. This isn't about "digital vs. not digital." It's about whether the 20-year-advent of social media should change how we think about strategy itself. x.com/allipeters/sta…

I wrote about the @headquarters68_ debate. I hope this is validating for the digital staffers who have been slugging it out on campaigns for years, and constructive for those who manage them. open.substack.com/pub/majorityde…

I’m begging non-digital experts to simply sit this one out. Short answer: campaign and political social media is almost never about persuasion! This isn’t where persuadable voters are!

@ARDavidson @BradEBonham I mean…yes. But it’s even more embarrassing when it’s a national signature gathering firm busing in out of state paid gatherers and they can’t even do a MINIMAL level of screening. This never happened with Better Boundaries or other initiatives.

@BenAndersonUT @BradEBonham Do you feel the same about all the candidates that had fraudulent packets turned in 2 yrs ago? Should they be embarrassed? Were they sloppy? Or is it the gatherers? The process needs to change. HB32, if passed, will be a great improvement.

@ARDavidson @BradEBonham The fact that they allowed their PAID signature gatherers to turn in 27 packets of fraudulent signatures (and almost certainly more than that) is absolutely a sign that they’re running a terrible, sloppy operation. Everyone involved should be embarrassed

@BenAndersonUT @BradEBonham To be clear, this has nothing to do with the party, but rather the signature gatherers and the signature gathering process for both petitions and nominations. HB32 will do a lot to fix this problem and this is a manifestation that HB32 needs to be supported and passed this year.
