Utah legislator Phil Lyman challenges Governor Spencer Cox's 2024 candidacy, citing signature validation issues in the Republican primary.

Utah legislator Phil Lyman is challenging Gov. Spencer Cox's eligibility for the 2024 ballot, claiming he is an "illegitimate" candidate due to alleged signature validation issues in the Republican primary. Lyman has filed multiple lawsuits, despite House Speaker Mike Schultz stating the Legislature lacks authority to remove Cox. An audit revealed minor errors in signature validation, but did not alter Cox's primary win. Polls show Cox leading with 49% support.
