Vote NO on the delegate reallocation power grab!

Forfeiture

Counties siphon delegates from their precinct pools in various ways.

Delegate seats are taken from voting precincts for elected party officials (such as a legislative district chair).

Delegate seats are taken from voting precincts for elected public officials (such as a county attorney).

Delegate seats are taken from voting precincts for appointed party officials!

Seats held by automatic delegates are seats that were not allocated to voting precincts! There is a cost for each automatic delegate. And our precincts pay this cost for automatic and appointed positions.

Here is what the voting precincts of Utah County have forfeited to the proponents of "local control":

Utah County

  4 county party officers: chair, vice chair, sec, treas
  5 county party officers appointed by county chair
  1 county party Audit Committee chair
  1 county party C/B Committee chair
13 county party legislative district chairs
13 county party legislative district vice chairs
13 county party legislative district education chairs
  1 county party most recent chair
  1 state party chair
  1 Congressman
  4 state senators
12 state representatives
  3 county commmissioners
  1 county assessor
  1 county attorney
  1 county clerk/auditor
  1 county recorder
  1 county sheriff
  1 county treasurer
--------------------------------------
78 automatic delegates
683 state delegates
11% automatic (not elected by precinct)

If this many seats are taken when current rules stipulate the allocation of delegates to the precinct level, how many more seats will be taken if this improper practice is legalized?

Here is an idea! Let's allow the precincts to decide whether their delegate seats should be given to automatic delegates! If precincts want to give one or more of their delegate seats to automatic delegates, then let them so decide. But let's not preclude their making that decision in the first place.
