“Arbitrarily restricting access to the ballot is a violation of people’s constitutional right,” Henderson said. “And I don’t think it’s the proper role of government to arbitrarily make things difficult for people.”
Utah’s lieutenant governor fielded questions about election security during a Spanish Fork town hall.
Henderson said that comparison isn’t accurate on its face. But she said she is concerned about making it harder to exercise the constitutional right to vote, such as by forcing people to cast a ballot only in person, on paper and with a pen or pencil. Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson answers a question at a town hall focused on election security in Spanish Fork, on Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.“If we can’t rely on being able to go to the ballot box and voice our displeasure or our satisfaction through our vote, then we’ve lost our republic,” she said. “And that, to me, is incredibly frightening.”
First of all, fraudulently registering to vote and casting multiple ballots are crimes, she said. Moreover, each mail-in envelope has a unique bar code that identifies the voter whose ballot is inside. Elections officials scan the envelope codes when the ballots arrive to ensure that the person can’t vote more than once, she said., she noted, concluded that the state’s election precautions prevented people from voting multiple times and were robust enough to prevent fraud.
For that reason, it’s not entirely clear what people mean when they ask for this type of review, she said.Cowley later explained that following an election, officials check a random sampling of ballots to make sure that the machines were tabulating them correctly.
