Randall Jeppesen reporting Utah's representative to the Republican National Committee says she's going to fight to try and change the way Republican delegates are handed out during the primary elections.

When the Republican National Rules Committee decides how elections should be run, Nancy Lord is Utah's representative. She says it's time to get rid of the winner-take-all delegates system.

"Mitt Romney is the poster boy for what can happen to someone when you have an unrepresentative system," Lord said.

Some states say having a winner-take-all primary, like Utah did this time around, makes them more relevant. But Lord says what it does is squash grassroots campaigning. She also says it's not fair in a tight race for the person who gets one more vote to get all the states delegates. Just look at Mitt Romney and Florida.
