Utah, Summit County targets in election activist's lawsuit

An elections activist is suing Summit County and the state over state election laws she contends are incompatible with federal law. Park City resident Kathy Dopp filed the complaint in federal court Sept. 20, naming Utah Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert and Summit County Clerk Kent Jones as defendants in her suit."Utah's current election system is so secretive that it is akin to allowing a small, close-knit group of people to take ballots to a back room and secretly count them," said Dopp, executive director of US Count Votes, a Utah nonprofit organization.
