Legislature's Redistricting Committee will discuss doing away with these mass meetings

EXCLUSIVE: Will Utah legislators get rid of Utah's political mass meetings?

"Reported by: Chris Vanocur

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Utah's long-standing political caucus system may be on its way out.  ABC 4 News has learned some state legislators (and others) now want to get rid of mass meetings where delegates are selected and replace them with a direct primary election."   ABC4 Exclusive

“Caucus convention systems almost always have less involvement in them than a direct primary election."  This move comes in the wake of three term Senator Bob Bennett being defeated by conservative and Tea Party delegates at the G.O.P. State Convention.
Sources tell ABC 4 there's now growing concern that caucus meetings can be too easily "hijacked" by special interest groups."
