Cox says he’s he’s a supporter of the caucus/convention system, and he’s very concerned about what moving to a direct primary would do to politics in Utah.
“Clearly there are some problems with the caucus system,” he says. “But I worry that moving to a direct primary would create ‘flyover counties’ in Utah. Right now we get governors and U.S. Senators who come to Fairview to meet with 3 delegates. In a direct primary it’s not rational for those candidates to do that as their time is better spent elsewhere.”
