In a recent news conference on election misinformation at the University of Utah, Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson addressed concerns raised by Utah County Clerk Aaron Davidson regarding Gov. Spencer Cox’s eligibility for the ballot. Davidson has suggested that Henderson be criminally prosecuted for allegedly breaking the law in the qualification process.
Davidson’s claims are the only ones of its kind among the 29 counties in Utah, and have been circulated on far-right social media platforms and by Cox’s primary election challenger, Phil Lyman. The letter signed by Davidson, titled “To Those Who Care,” has raised important questions about the integrity of the election process in Utah.
The lieutenant governor’s office has not provided any comment on the matter, and it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact the upcoming election. The allegations made by Davidson have sparked a heated debate among legislators and individuals familiar with the situation.
