Utah Referendum Proponents Ask State Supreme Court to Invalidate New Law that Bans Electronic Signatures

Ballot Access News:
"On March 25, proponents of a Utah referendum asked the State Supreme Court to invalidate the newly-passed ban on electronic signatures, at least as applied to their initiative. The case is Lord v Bell, 2011-02-59-SC. Here is the Complaint. Last year, the Utah Supreme Court had unanimously interpreted Utah law to permit electronic signatures on petitions. In response, this year the legislature banned electronic signatures, even though Utah does allow people to register to vote electronically."
