ST. GEORGE, Utah — Congressional candidate Colby Jenkins has filed a lawsuit against the Washington County Clerk, seeking access to uncounted ballots.
Jenkins is in a still-too-close-to-call race for the Republican nomination for Utah's 2nd Congressional District against Congresswoman Celeste Maloy. As of Friday, she led Jenkins by 295 votes. But Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke argued in a filing that the Jenkins campaign is not entitled to those ballots, saying their petition"is based entirely on a misinterpretation of a provision of the Utah Election Code."
