Thursday March 26th 2020, (under the premise of a now debunked crisis) Governor Gary Herbert issued an executive order unilaterally suspending legislation and statute governing election law allowing candidates additional time to collect signatures to get on the ballot. This seemed like a blatant unconstitutional power grab, passing legislation (temporary I’m sure) independent of the legislature and a violation of the basic American principle of separation of powers.
