One recent poll showed 6 out of 10 Republicans would support Trump to organize a Patriot Party. If that happens, Democrats in Utah that have lost their ability to elect any national representative due to gerrymandering, will now be able to have their votes count.
If they are disappointed in a representative like Chris Stewart because he voted to overturn votes in states that supported Joe Biden, they can register as Republicans and vote for his primary opponent. There is also the possibility with a fractured Republican Party to elect Democrats to national office.
