Utah’s Lt Governor Defies DOJ on Voter Data | Boise News

Utah’s Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson is locked in a legal standoff with the DOJ over voter data, refusing to hand over private records citing privacy laws — now facing official investigation and potential legal trouble. While the DOJ cites a lawsuit against Utah for withholding full voter lists, Henderson argues they’re overstepping and urges focus on real election integrity issues. Governor Spencer Cox backs her, insisting disputes should go to court, not threats. Utah’s own review found no significant noncitizen voting, and state law restricts sensitive data release. Compounding the tension, Henderson and other officials are also challenging a USPS rule that could disrupt mail-in ballots — arguing it’s too late to implement without causing chaos.
