2024 General Election

The Tale of the Two Lymans
(Actually ... Three)

You might be aware of what happened in Alaska with Republican US Senator Dan Sullivan's reelection efforts. Apparently Democrat political campaign staffers recruited a man named Dan Sullivan to stack the ballot (thereby confusing voters) and divert votes away from the Republican. The recruited useful idiot has been nicknamed "Decoy Dan."

Utah also had its own Dan Sullivan incident in the 2024 gubernatorial race. The decoy was recruited by Governor Spencer Cox and LG Deidre Henderson. The Gov / LG opponent was the Utah state GOP nominee for governor, who won 67% at convention. Cox and Henderson only got 33% at that convention.

Cox anticipated getting rejected at convention and not being the nominee. Dark money / deep state candidates can get on the Utah primary ballot anyway and work around their party convention by gathering signatures. For governor, 28,000 valid signatures were required. Cox did not get enough valid signatures (which we did not know until a year later) but Deidre made sure she and Cox were on the primary ballot anyway.

The LG in Utah is the de facto Secretary of State, whose office oversaw the primary election. Yes. Through the primary election, Cox and Henderson thus installed themselves as governor and Lt governor for another four years. Oh, for appearance sake, the LG went through the motions of getting an "outsider" to oversee her reelection, but the outsider was in their club.

Phil Lyman, the convention nominee who got cheated, then decided to run as a write-in candidate in the November general election.

Cox and Henderson then recruited a decoy to divert votes away from the convention nominee to successfully reinstall themselves as Governor and Lt Governor. His name was Richard Lyman. We call him Decoy Dick.

Utah is corrupt to the core. It is the fakest red state in the country. This is the state which enabled the leftist culture that played a role in the murder of Charlie Kirk.

U.S. Senator Mike Lee might be trumpeting the SAVE Act but he is willfully tone deaf to his own state's election corruption.

The state Attorney General Derek Brown is buddies with Deidre Henderson. In fact Henderson was on his campaign finance committee. Brown's AG office tried covering up an investigation into Cox's signature petition packets - some containing signatures which were forged. The office denied that such an investigation existed. We couldn't find out anything until a whistleblower came forward and provided an unredacted report of the signature investigation to a citizen investigating the signatures.

It's been crickets from the Utah GOP. Party leadership has been anxious to sweep everything under the rug and "unite" the party behind a shady governor.

In a state legislature committee hearing on these election shenanigans, a "Republican" state senator was more concerned about the lives of the signature forgers (young people) with criminal charges hanging over them than he was about a rigged election.

The same criminals sweeping wrongdoing under the rug run around giving lectures on ethics.

This is Utah. Do not be fooled by the charm of an establishment Utah politician.
