Applying a constitutional lens to election challenges in Utah

Utah's primary election was on June 25, but there are still ongoing disputes over the outcomes of two high-profile races. On this episode, we equip you to use a constitutional lens to evaluate any instance in which an election outcome is questioned or even challenged. 

Host Nic Dunn sits down with Sutherland Institute's Derek Monson to discuss Utah's Republican primary race for governor, which incumbent Gov. Spencer Cox won by roughly 37,000 votes. They discuss whether the ongoing challenges by the Phil Lyman campaign pass constitutional and legal muster. 

The discussion also dives into Utah's 2nd Congressional primary race and some of the questions around Utah's vote-by-mail system with special guest Tammy Patrick. Tammy is the CEO of Programs for the Election Center at the National Association of Election Officials.
