Republican candidate for governor Phil Lyman is asking the Utah Supreme Court to throw Governor Spencer Cox off the November ballot, contesting the results of the GOP primary.'Petitioner Phil Lyman respectfully petitions this Court for an Extraordinary Writ of declaratory relief specifying the rights, obligations, or existence of facts of the provisions in claims for relief,' Lyman wrote in the petition to the state's top court.
His request to have only convention winners as the official candidates would not only impact the governor's race, but also the U.S. Senate, congressional and attorney general's races. Lyman overwhelmingly won the Utah GOP convention nomination, but ended up losing the Republican primary to Cox, who had gathered signatures to get on the ballot. Under Utah law, candidates can either go through the caucus/convention system, gather signatures to earn a spot on the primary ballot, or both.
