Quin Denning, who lost to Celeste Maloy at the Republican State Convention, is now suing to have her disqualified as a candidate to replace Rep. Chris Stewart.
It alleges that Maloy is ineligible to run in the special election to replace Rep. Chris Stewart because her voter registration was inactive and on a list to be removed from the rolls the day she filed. Maloy registered to vote as a Republican in 2016, but she didn't vote in 2020 or 2022 in Utah because she was working for Stewart in Washington at the time.
Henderson has repeatedly said Maloy meets the qualifications to run as a Republican, and GOP Chairman Robert Axson affirmed her eligibility with the party and submitted her name as the convention winner on July 5.June 30, the lieutenant governor said state law allows her to "consider declarations of candidacy 'valid unless a written objection is filed.' To date, no written objection has been filed.
Denning also alleges that Maloy isn't a resident of Utah, which is a requirement for candidacy under the Utah Republican Party Constitution. In the lawsuit, Denning points out that state law provides a path for party leadership to replace a candidate on the ballot in the event the candidate "resigns, dies or becomes incapacitated after nomination at the state convention or at the primary election."Maloy is vying for the Republican Party's nomination in a primary election scheduled for Sept. 5, alongside longtime Republican National Committeeman Bruce Hough and former state lawmaker Becky Edwards.
