Criticizing her own party, Utah's Lt. Gov. warns of threats and claims of fraud as election nears
Utah’s Republican lieutenant governor has strong words for candidates and their supporters who don’t accept election results.
An attack on elections and the people who run them, Deidre Henderson said, is an attack on liberty and free government.
“‘Heads I win, tails you cheated’ is not a foundational principle of a free government,” she told reporters on Thursday.
It’s been a tumultuous election year for Henderson, and elections officials all over the state, who have reported a rise in threats and misinformation. The FBI is currently investigating an envelope containing white powder that was addressed to the Lt. Governor’s Office last month, and Henderson has for months faced accusations that she meddled in the state’s primary election.
