SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — U.S. Rep.
SALT LAKE CITY — U.S. Rep. Celeste Maloy narrowly won the Republican primary in Utah's 2nd Congressional District on Tuesday after the state Supreme Court rejected her challenger's lawsuit that asked justices to count a batch of ballots with late postmarks after Maloy defeated him in a recount by fewer than 200 votes.
Maloy, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, led by 176 votes after a recount in early August, which makes her the Republican nominee now that Jenkins has exhausted all avenues to challenge the results. She is seeking her first full term in Congress after winning a special election last fall.
Jenkins formally requested the recount but followed it up immediately with his legal challenge contesting the certification of results over more than a thousand late ballots. His complaints revolved around a batch of ballots routed through Las Vegas, where some mail from southern Utah is processed. Maloy's primary victory notches Trump his only win of this election cycle in Utah, a rare Republican stronghold that has not fully embraced his grip on the GOP.
