Once again, the Utah County Commission is discussing the topic of "election integrity" and taking public comments from election conspiracy enthusiasts.
It's a lot of the same people who show up every time to yell about non-existent election fraud #utpol

One woman just said she could not believe that nearly "every patriotic America First candidate" lost in the primary election.
Once again, for the people in the back: GOP primary voters are MUCH MORE MODERATE than candidates favored by the convention crowd #utpol

Oh dear, a woman just said Commissioner Bill Lee should have had a sheriff accompany him to get election records he requested.

The sheriff suggestion is the latest front in the "Stop the Steal" fight.
Followers of the "Constitutional Sheriff" movement (wrongly) believe sheriffs are the highest law enforcement authority in the country who can decide which federal laws they want to follow #utpol

The next speaker says Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson are trying to "make Utah a third-world country" #utpol
The next speaker says Spencer Cox should be more like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who she calls "the governor of this nation because he is doing what the people want."
"Governor of the nation" is missing from my copy of the Constitution #utpol

This hearing is a concrete example of how former President Donald Trump's lies about a stolen election have poisoned the minds of so many people.

The next commenter says it's "very unfair" that commissioner Bill Lee should step down if there are discrepancies with the vote (there aren't).
"That wouldn't be fair to the people who voted for you," she says.
Lee lost his primary election #utpol

Cindy Butler comes to the microphone.

The commission is going to develop a RFP for auditing and statistical firms to do a "statistical review" of the 2022 primary election.
Seems odd that the commission is going through all of this trouble for a primary election that one of their members lost #utpol

The commission has spent hours dealing with the "stop the steal" crowd this year.
A not-insignificant amount of public resources have been dedicated to what amounts to a fishing expedition to satisfy a vocal minority of election fraud cranks #utpol
