Chris Cannon escapes convention by the skin of his teeth!
From LeadershipThatDelivers.com:
This just in. The vote count in the 2nd District . . .
Merrill Cook: 209 (30.74 percent)
Bill Dew: 471 (69.26 percent)Bill Dew is the Republican candidate for the 2nd District.
And, the vote count in the 3rd Congressional District . . .
Jason Chaffetz: 563 votes (59.01 percent)
Chris Cannon: 391 votes (40.99 percent)Jason Chaffetz and Chris Cannon will face off in a June 24th primary election.
Of course had Chaffetz obtained 60% of the vote he would have been the nominee without a primary. If we assume that the Convention is substantially more conservative than the primary voters (safe to do), then Chris Cannon should have a reasonable shot of holding onto his seat.

If only people knew who Chris Cannon really was. I lived in Wash D.C. back. My good friend worked in his office and eventually quit due to the unethical practices of Cannon. I have no details to share, but I have full confidence in the integrity of my friend.
