After losing at the Utah Supreme Court, Republican write-in candidate Phil Lyman asks U.S. Supreme Court justices to disqualify Spencer Cox from the 2024 election and to name him the GOP nominee.
After the Utah Supreme Court refused to declare him the rightful Republican nominee for governor, write-in candidate Phil Lyman is taking his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, a last-minute and unlikely attempt to have Gov. Spencer Cox disqualified from the election which is now just two weeks away.
Now Lyman is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that he should have been the Republican nominee without having to go to the June primary with Cox, arguing because he received more than two-thirds of the vote from delegates at the Utah Republican Party nominating convention. Recently, audits from State Auditor John Dougall and the Utah legislative auditor general identified some of those 28,000 signatures for all three candidates that they said should not have been validated based on signatures that did not match signatures for the voters that were on file.
