Via Salt Lake Tribune:

After losing to Rep. Jim Matheson in 2012 by a razor-thin margin, Republican Mia Love will get another shot at going to Congress, this time taking on Doug Owens, the son of a former congressman.

Love, who gained national prominence in her first campaign, clinched the party’s nomination by securing more than 78 percent of the vote Saturday from Republican delegates in the 4th Congressional District against opponent Bob Fuehr.

Love said she met with more delegates during the past five weeks than the nearly 850 who actually showed up from her district to vote at the state GOP convention at South Towne Expo Center.

“I am honored to have their support. They really make this process awesome for me. This is my favorite part,” she said. “Going on from here, we are going to work hard. We are not going to take anything for granted. I am going to go out and earn every vote and really amplify Utah’s voice.”

No wonder Utah is so full of worthless elected officials like Huntsman and Hatch. Their Primary Convention system is a hotbed for corruption and is as arcane as anything this side of a Papal selection.
