Utah election leaders filed a motion Friday asking a federal judge to deny a motion tied to a lawsuit filed by a group seeking a state flags initiative.
Organizers of an initiative that seeks to pause the implementation of a new state flag said Tuesday that they expect the measure will not get enough signatures by a Thursday deadline for reasons they re suing over.
The old flag proponents are suing Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, arguing that deadlines and other rules governing their petition effort are unconstitutional.
