SALT LAKE CITY (Standard-Examiner) — A Utah House candidate from Ogden has sued Republican Gov. Gary Herbert, claiming his stay-home order cost her a place on the upcoming primary ballot. The Standard-Examiner reported that Republican Lorraine Brown filed the lawsuit Friday insisting she would have been able to collect the 1,000 required signatures if not for the stay-at-home policy implemented March 12 amid the coronavirus outbreak. Brown wants the signature gathering deadline extended to Wednesday. She said she continued to receive signatures past the original April 6 deadline and has collected more than enough to be granted a spot on the ballot. Herbert and other defendants declined to comment.
