Orange Man Good!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU Your generosity has already carried us to $2,020 of our $4,500 goal — nearly halfway there. Every single donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and is making this fight possible. This case is critical for election integrity in Utah and beyond. Phil Lyman, represented by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, is seeking to enforce the National Voter Registration Act’s clear requirement that voter list records be available for public inspection. Citizens have a right to check whether rolls are accurate and properly maintained. Utah has refused full access (including records marked “private” or “withheld”), and a district court dismissed the case on standing without reaching the merits. On November 17, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit will hear the appeal in Denver. This is the opportunity to establish that the public inspection rights under federal law are real and enforceable. Without that transparency, meaningful oversight of the voter rolls becomes impossible. Phil is not being paid for this, and neither is the team supporting the effort outside the courtroom. The legal work is being handled by PILF; everything else runs on the support of people like you. We are so grateful for what you’ve already given. With the hearing just days away, we still need to close the remaining gap. If you’re able to share the fundraiser or contribute anything more, it means the world. Thank you for standing with us for transparency and accountability. 🇺🇸 Donate or share here: givesendgo.com/help-phil-lym…

If you were wondering why Utah “Republicans” are completely comfortable conducting selections, not elections.

The Utah establishment can’t seriously investigate the last-minute “Richard and Carol Lyman” write-ins because the trail leads straight back to the SB54 signature path that installed Cox and Henderson on the ballot in the first place. Phil Lyman won the convention with roughly 68% of the delegates. Under the party’s own rules that should have made him the nominee. Instead, Cox and Deidre Henderson used the dual-path law they control to force a primary, then, once that path was open, induced name-alike candidates to file at the deadline, muddy the waters with official emails from the Lieutenant Governor’s office, and split the vote. The lawsuit was tossed on free-speech grounds without a merits hearing, the media repeatedly used Phil’s photo for the unrelated write-ins, and every elected Republican with a platform (including Mike Lee) stayed silent. Lee’s periodic speeches and posts demanding SB54’s repeal are pure theater. He has spent years calling the law unconstitutional while doing nothing to force its repeal when his allies in the Governor’s office and the Legislature were the ones relying on it. Without the signature-gathering bypass and the election office controlled by Cox’s running mate, there would have been no need to recruit fake Lymans. Investigating the write-ins honestly would expose the entire installation mechanism. That is why it will not happen.

ALASKA GETS UTAHED Except Utah’s came with an alleged $1,000 + 🥩 dinner bribe and a statewide coverup. In Alaska, a second Dan Sullivan showed up on the ballot in what Republicans call a calculated voter-confusion play. In Utah, after Phil Lyman beat the convention and forced a primary against Spencer Cox, an unrelated Richard Lyman (and his mother Carol) filed as write-in candidates for governor and lieutenant governor at the absolute last minute. Phil’s campaign released a coworker’s affidavit and texts claiming Richard said the Cox campaign offered him $1,000 and a 🥩 dinner to run specifically “to mess with Phil Lyman’s campaign.” That is illegal under Utah law. Cox’s people called it “blatantly false.” Not one member of Utah GOP leadership, the federal delegation, or the legislature publicly demanded answers or an investigation; especially Mike Lee, who had already locked arms with Cox and told everyone the primary was over and it was time to unite. Silence. Then the media did its part: stories about “Lyman dropping out” routinely used Phil’s photo instead of Richard’s or Carol’s. Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson (Cox’s running mate and the state’s chief election officer) sent the required email to registered Republicans announcing that Richard Kennedy Lyman and Carol Ann Lyman had withdrawn and that votes for them would not count. Voters flooded Phil’s campaign saying they thought he had quit. Henderson’s office clarified the obvious after the damage, but the confusion was already baked in. Name-alike candidates + last-minute filing + alleged inducement + media sloppiness + official email that further muddied the waters + total silence from every elected Republican who could have spoken = the exact playbook used to protect the incumbent. The lawsuit was later dismissed on free-speech grounds without a trial on the merits. No criminal probe. No accountability. Just the same people who run the elections and the party telling everyone to move on.

🚨This is how they’ve transformed Utah while installing “ Republicans.” North Carolina megadonor Jay Faison spent $2.5 million in dark-money super PACs to put John Curtis in the Senate, then built the Doers Network to lock in the Spencer Cox / Curtis brand of politics. Working with groups like All In For Utah (same office suite, same mission), the goal is a permanent 10% vote machine that protects “results-oriented” moderates from actual conservative primary challengers. Their playbook: candidate training, polling, and infrastructure for people who prioritize “collaboration” and “Disagree Better” over culture-war fights. They’re openly saying they want to export the Utah model nationwide. Millions in out-of-state money + institutional capture = electing Republicans who will Disagree Better the state into the ground.
