Garbett v. Herbert (2:20-cv-245) and Brown v. Herbert (1:20-cv-52) (Robert J. Shelby, D. Utah)
A district court modified the ballot-petition signature requirement for a prospective gubernatorial candidate because of social distancing during the Covid-19 global infectious pandemic. Even with the modified requirement, the plaintiff was unable to qualify for the primary-election ballot. After the injunction was issued, a prospective legislative candidate sought relief from the ballot-petition signature requirements, but the court denied the second plaintiff relief.
