Utah Supreme Court explains why its OK for initiative opponents to block a ballot question by removing signatures

More than a year after rejecting Count My Vote’s request for its proposal to be placed on the state’s 2018 ballot, the Utah Supreme Court has explained itself in a written opinion that gives a green light to initiative opposition campaigns like Keep My Voice.

In the opinion issued Thursday and made public Friday, Utah justices found that voters who change their minds on a ballot initiative are not required to personally submit a request to have their signature removed, and that the different requirements for initiative sponsors and opponents do not violate the constitutional right to equal protection.
