SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Republican Party chose to hold a caucus for the"Super Tuesday" primary instead of an ordinary election.
There was nothing distinguishing the volunteers from normal voters — not even a lanyard or neon vest. The GOP spent $100,000 on advertising for the caucus. They also spent $60,000 on the pre-registration system."I believe that the American public and the Utah citizenry here in our state are smart enough to get involved," Chairman Robert Axson said."We appreciate the patience and I can appreciate, too, being confused on a moment, but we’ll try to get those questions answered. But ultimately the engagement you can get at the precinct level is incredibly valuable; it’s worthwhile.
As late as 10:30 p.m., two-and-a-half hours after polls closed, there were no tabulated results yet available from the caucus.
