Republican gubernatorial candidate Phil Lyman's campaign to overturn his primary election loss to Spencer Cox faces a major setback as a judge denies his emergency request for access to Cox's signature packets.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Phil Lyman ’s hopes for undoing his primary election loss to Spencer Cox are quickly fading.
In his opinion, issued late Friday afternoon, Third District Judge Stephen Nelson wrote that Lyman’s vague claims of possible fraud were unconvincing. In denying the request, Nelson said Lyman’s campaign waited far too long to raise any potential issues with Cox’s signatures, and did not explain how it would be able to conduct an investigation and make any challenges regarding Cox’s signature petitions by the Monday canvassing deadline or the Sept. 6 ballot deadline.
