Utah's Republican governor, Spencer Cox, signed legislation over the weekend that will add two seats to his state's supreme court -- seats that Cox plans to fill shortly. The law is widely viewed as an effort to move Utah's highest court to the right after it handed down several decisions that Republicans disliked.

The Utah governor just signed a bill to expand his state's supreme court by two seats. Conservatives have been angry at a series of judicial rulings, including one that safeguarded direct democracy in 2024 & one that struck down their gerrymander. 1st step of their retaliation.

They've replaced American values with partisan political goals.

It's no longer about democracy, it's about power.

... and before you attempt to claim there has been no corruption in our voting system, I ask jsut one question concerning the last tow elections:

In the COVID mass mail-in ballots election biden gained over 20 million votes than the very much more popular obama received, AND interesting enough, come 2024, without all those mass mail-in ballots those 20+ million voters seemed to just evaporated.... if you can explain that I'm listening.

FYI: Now there are only 8 states that chose to continue to use mass mail-in ballots and it is telling that 7 of the eight are Blue States - Jes'Sayin'.

Seems like that would be easy to prove.

Hoe many more years do you need to do that?

Be generous to yourself.
