At the state conventions of Utah Republicans and Democrats, candidates tied to incumbency were defeated by challengers. For example, U.S. Rep. Blake Moore was defeated by state Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, 62-34%, and a Democrat named Liban Mohamed won 51-49%. This comes as part of a trend of ranked-choice voting at Democrats' conventions, which eliminates lower-performing candidates from consideration. The remaining candidates will face off in a primary, but the number of candidates will increase.
