Spencer James Cox (born July 11, 1975) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the 18th governor of Utah since 2021. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the eighth lieutenant governor of Utah from 2013 to 2021. In Fairview, Utah, where Cox lives and was raised, he was elected to the city council in 2004 and then as mayor in 2005. In 2008, he was elected as a Sanpete County commissioner.
He was elected to the Utah House of Representatives in 2012. In October 2013, Governor Gary Herbert appointed Cox to replace Greg Bell as lieutenant governor; he was confirmed unanimously by the Utah State Senate. Cox was elected to the lieutenant governorship as Herbert's running mate in 2016, and was elected governor in 2020. He was reelected to a second term in 2024.
Early life and education
Cox was raised in Fairview, Utah; he graduated from North Sanpete High School. He enrolled at Snow College and completed a mission to Mexico for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while he was a student. During that time, he married his high-school sweetheart, Abby, who also graduated from Snow College. After graduating with an associate's degree, he attended Utah State University (USU), graduating in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts in political science. At USU, Cox was named Student of the Year and graduated with a 4.0 grade point average.
Cox was accepted by Harvard Law School but instead chose to enroll at Washington and Lee University School of Law. He was a member of the Washington and Lee Law Review and graduated in 2001 with a Juris Doctor with honors.
Career
Early legal work
After law school, Cox was a law clerk for judge Ted Stewart of the United States District Court for the District of Utah. After his clerkship, Cox joined Fabian and Clendenin, a Salt Lake City law firm. He returned to rural Utah and became a vice president of Centracom, a fmily owned business.
Political career
Cox was elected as a city councilor of Fairview, Utah in 2004, and mayor the next year. In 2008, he was elected as a Sanpete County commissioner. Cox was elected to the Utah House of Representatives in 2012 and became the first member to call for the impeachment of John Swallow, the attorney general of Utah, over violations of campaign finance laws. Cox and Lieutenant Governor Bell served as co-chairs of Governor Herbert's Rural Partnership Board.
Lieutenant governor of Utah
In October 2013, Herbert selected Cox to succeed Bell as lieutenant governor following Bell's resignation. The Utah Senate's Government Operations Confirmation Committee unanimously approved his nomination on October 15. The next day, the full Utah Senate confirmed him unanimously and he was sworn in. As lieutenant governor, Cox produced a report on Swallow's financial interests, demonstrating that Swallow had failed to properly disclose all of his income and business interests. Swallow resigned before the report's release.
In the 2016 Utah gubernatorial election, Cox was elected to a full term as lieutenant governor as Herbert's running mate.
Governor of Utah
On May 14, 2019, after Herbert announced that he would not seek reelection, Cox announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Utah in 2020. He used the signature route to gain access to the ballot rather than going the convention route.
With 36% of the vote in the primary, he defeated former governor Jon Huntsman Jr., former Utah GOP chair Thomas Wright, and former Utah House speaker Greg Hughes. In the general election, Cox defeated the Democratic nominee, Chris Peterson, 63% to 30%, along with two third-party candidates.
.
In a break with tradition, Cox's January 4, 2021, inauguration (with precautions against COVID-19) was held at the Tuacahn Center for the Arts in Ivins, Utah, a small town in Washington County. The stated purpose of this move was to express Cox's desire to be governor for the entire state as opposed to focusing on the Wasatch Front region. Within days of his inauguration, he opened an office on Southern Utah University's Cedar City campus.
Cox said early on that increasing the speed of the state's vaccine distribution was his administration's top priority. As of April 2021, Utah had administered more than 85% of the doses that it has received, according to CDC data. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Utah, Cox faced criticism for the state's decision to award millions of dollars in no-bid contracts in the early days of the crisis and for the controversial purchase of an anti-malaria drug as a possible treatment for COVID-19. Cox says he had no role in approving the $800,000 hydroxychloroquine order, which was later canceled.
He, like many state leaders, also faced criticism over their roles in the 2020 "Covid-crisis;" among them being, as chair of the Utah Covid Task force: closing churches and temples, closing businesses deemed 'non-essential,' mask mandates, promoting false information about infection and death rates (20 % infection means 80% non-iinfection, and .5 or .6% death rate also means a 99.5 or 99.4% survival rate), etc, promoting and continuing the state sponsored 'campaign of fear' until 2023 - when the Covid Emergency orders ended.
In July 2022, Cox was elected vice chair of the National Governors Association, succeeding New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who was voted chair. In March 2023, Cox signed two bills into law, including the Utah Social Media Regulation Act, which bans social media platforms, such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, from allowing minors to create accounts without parental consent, and blocks children's access during certain hours.
Vetoes
Cox has vetoed five bills as of 2022, all of which were Republican-backed (Republicans have supermajorities in both of Utah’s state legislative chambers).
Cox's first veto was of a bill sponsored by his brother-in-law, Senator Mike McKell, which sought to regulate the way social media platforms moderate content.[25] Cox also vetoed Senate Bill 187: Local Education Agency Policies Amendments, sponsored by Ronald Winterton; Senate Bill 39: Hemp Regulation Amendments, sponsored by David Hinkins; and House Bill 98: Local Government Building Regulation Amendments, sponsored by Paul Ray.
In March 2022, Cox vetoed House Bill 11: Student Eligibility in Interscholastic Activities, sponsored by Kera Birkeland, which aimed to prevent transgender youth athletes from participating in women's sports. Cox noted that of Utah's 75,000 student athletes, only four were transgender and only one competed in women's sports. The legislature overrode his veto.
Political positions
Outside of Utah, Cox is frequently considered a moderate Republican. Within the state, he is considered a progressive, at best, or a ‘Utah Liberal,’ akin to Mitt Romney or former Gov. Huntsman.
In October 2015, Cox endorsed Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican presidential primary. After Rubio withdrew, Cox endorsed Ted Cruz in March 2016.
Cox said of Donald Trump's campaign, "We care a lot about decorum. We care about our neighbors. We are a good, kind people. He does not represent neither goodness nor kindness." He said he would not support Trump if he won the Republican nomination: "I think he's disingenuous. I think he's dangerous. I think he represents the worst of what our great country stands for... I won't vote for Hillary, but I won't vote for Trump, either."
Cox eventually changed course and said in 2020 that he supported Trump, although he claims not to have voted for Trump in the 2016 or the 2020 presidential election. After the 2021 United States Capitol attack, Cox said that Trump was responsible for inciting the violence and called on him to resign.
On July 14, 2024, Cox released a letter endorsing Trump. In it, he wrote of a failed Trump assassination attempt: "I want you to know that I truly believe that God had a hand in saving you...I also hesitate to even imagine what would have happened to our country if your life had not been miraculously spared... Your life was spared. Now, because of that miracle, you have the opportunity to do something that no other person on earth can do right now: unify and save our country." Cox added that he believes that only Trump can unite the citizenry of the U.S. and prevent the country from being torn apart.
Abortion
Cox identifies himself as pro-life and opposes abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, or life of the mother.
In May 2022, after the leaking of the draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade, Cox expressed support for the decision, but decried the leak, saying, "While we are encouraged and optimistic at the possibility that the abortion law will be left to the duly elected representatives of the states, draft rulings are not actual rulings and leaked drafts are a dangerous violation of court protocol and deliberations."
On June 24, 2022, Cox expressed his support for the overturning of Roe v. Wade and said: "This administration has been dedicated to giving a voice to the most vulnerable in our society, including the unborn. We wholeheartedly support this Supreme Court ruling and are encouraged to see abortion law will be left to elected state representatives. As pro-life advocates, this administration is equally committed to supporting women and families in Utah. We all need to do more to support mothers, pregnant women, and children facing poverty and trauma."
In March 2023, Cox signed a bill banning abortion clinics from operating in Utah and requiring abortions to be performed in a hospital. The law was issued a temporary injunction by Third District Court Judge Andrew Stone a day before it was to take effect.
Environment
Cox opposes the use of the Antiquities Act to create national monuments, saying that he believes monument designations hurt the landscapes they are meant to protect. He has expressed opposition to the restored boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, and to the creation of Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument.
Guns
In February 2021, Cox signed a constitutional carry bill to allow individuals to carry a firearm in public without a permit, making Utah the 17th state to do so.
In June 2022, Cox said in a press conference that he was open to discussing a red flag law with the legislature.
LGBT rights
On June 13, 2016, Cox spoke at a vigil in Salt Lake City honoring those who died in the Orlando nightclub shooting the day before. He surprised many when he apologized for mistreating schoolmates and his lack of support for the LGBTQ community. He aimed part of his speech at the "straight community":
How did you feel when you heard that 49 people had been gunned down by a self-proclaimed terrorist? That’s the easy question. Here is the hard one: Did that feeling change when you found out the shooting was at a gay bar at 2 a.m. in the morning? If that feeling changed, then we are doing something wrong.
Cox has further shown support for the LGBTQ+ community by supporting Governor Herbert's signing an executive order on January 21, 2020, to ban conversion therapy after a bill to do so died in the State Senate in May 2019.
In an April 2021 town hall meeting, Cox announced his personal pronouns are "he", "him", and "his".
In March 2022, Cox vetoed HB11, which would ban transgender youth from participating in high school sports, noting that only four trans kids were playing high school sports in the state at the time. "These kids, they're just trying to stay alive", he said, referring to studies showing that 56% of trans- youth have attempted suicide.
On June 1, 2022, Cox became the first Utah governor to recognize June as LGBTQ+ Pride Month when he issued an official proclamation and encouraged Utahns to "be more welcoming and accepting of the LGBTQ community". He has recognized Pride Month every year since.
On January 28, 2023, Cox signed Senate Bill 16, which bans gender-affirming surgery for patients under 18.
On March 22, 2023, Cox signed HB228, codifying Utah's existing conversion therapy ban, previously approved through a 2020 administrative rule. It was the first conversion therapy ban in the country to pass a state legislature unanimously.
On August 5, 2024, Cox and other state leaders shared misinformation about the female Olympic boxer Imane Khelif. Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz initially posted, "Enough is enough. Men don't belong in women's sports", which Cox shared, adding: "This should never happen to any of our female athletes. They deserve better." At the time of these statements, it had already been confirmed that Khelif was a woman.
Personal life
Cox is the oldest of eight children and grew up on a farm in Fairview. He and his wife, Abby, have four children, and reside on their family farm in Fairview. Cox's father, Eddie, served on the Utah Transportation Commission and was also a Sanpete County commissioner.
Cox plays bass guitar in a garage band. His brother-in-law, Travis Osmond, the son of Merrill Osmond, taught him to play bass. State Senator Mike McKell is also a brother-in-law. Cox's fourth cousin, Jon Cox, succeeded him in the Utah House of Representatives.
Cox is a fan of the band The Killers and in 2018 played in a recording of a cover of the song "Read My Mind" with his band. At a 2024 campaign event Cox crowd-surfed during a Brandon Flowers performance.
Contrary to the official bio, Spencer Cox was appointed to the unexpired term of a Fairview City Council vacancy in 2004, and filled the vacancy of the Fairview City mayor in 2005. Before being elected to either municipal post, he was appointed to be a Sanpete County Commissioner.
He ran for his first public election to the Utah Legislature in 2012. He served only two years in the House, before being appointed to be the Lt. Gov., after the resignation of Greg Bell. In 2016 Cox ran for his first full term as Lt. Gov. along side Gov. Gary Herbert.
In 2020 Cox went through the signature route, buying his way onto get on the ballot - just as he did in 2024 (but in 2024 he was over 700 signatures short of the 28,000 threshold, and was still on the ballot - winning the election illegitmately !
There were several 'anomolies' in the Cox results of 2020 which have never been 'cured.' (see below)
The People have made their choices for the elected offices. WE the People have had our votes made and our voices heard. Now we can get back to the questions of inflation, guaranteeing election integrity, doing better without raising taxes, doing better in education, child welfare, justice and the myriad other matters.
We still need to decide about Spencer Cox’s legitimacy as Governor, a little matter of signatures, whether he is legitimately our new Governor OR …. Perhaps the Legislature can consider his retention and all the legal issues and questions surrounding the processes? Perhaps they can take into account the evidence (circumstantial though some of it may be) of the “Remove Cox” movement, as well.
Perhaps there is enough to ‘cloud’ the idea of a continuation of the Cox/Henderson administration?
While the preponderance of evidence is NOT overwhelming, there is sufficient for the Legislative leaders to begin an investigation leading (perhaps) to impeachment.
Let us look at the surface of some of the arguments and evidence.
a) The signature route toward gaining ballot access has, especially this cycle, proved untenable. There have been legal charges against signature gathers, legislative audit questioning the signature process, and accusations of ‘big/dark money” tainting the SB54 process yet again.
b) Gov. Cox was asked, in an Open Letter dated Oct. 26 (sent to Spencer Cox on Oct. 26, 2024, through his constituent services message system, case number: 00140950; attached below) to withdraw on his own ‘individual responsibility,’ but to no avail.
c) Cox has made Utah a ‘Sanctuary State.’ While Cox vehemently denies and is lying when he denies that Utah is a sanctuary state, several sources show that Utah has as many as 200,000 illegal migrants within our borders. .I.C.E. stated that 67% of illegal criminals, including MS13 gang members, are being released on the streets, getting drivers licenses, work cards, benefits, pay resident tuition, etc. Migrants are costing taxpayers over $931 million, or $901 per household https://www.fairus.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/utah2023.pdf
d) Cox received donations from Democratic sources, including David E. Cumming's $50,000 donation and another $50,000 donation from John Cumming, both of whom registered their contributions under the same Wyoming address as the Cumming Foundation. The foundation’s vice president and executive director, Annette Cumming, was previously the board chair for Planned Parenthood Association of Utah and is currently with the Planned Parenthood Federal Political Action Committee.
e) Governor Cox vetoed a bill that would have banned men from competing in women’s sports. His veto was over-ridden and the bill became law. He stated in a five-page letter explaining his decision, which he also posted to Twitter; that of the state’s 75,000 high-school athletes, only four were known to be trans, and only one played girls sports (SO FAR! ... once you open that un-natural door ...). “I don’t believe that biological males should be competing against biological females,” he says. “I don’t think that that’s fair, and I believe that most of society agrees with that.” But he wanted to deal with the issue in a 'humane, nuanced way,' or at least try to do that. He can't be either Hot or Cold on this issue but is continually 'luke-warm.' The 'Good Book' says if we are luke-warm God will spew us from his mouth!
f) The first document signed by Cox, in 2021, was the “Utah Compact on Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” He also promoted the Utah Jazz in excluding white kids from scholarships.
WAIT, Racism is bad, RIGHT? And Racism is discriminating against people because of the color of their skin, right? So, it is okay to exclude white kids because of their skin color? Isn't THAT also racist.....??
There are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that. He’s determined, he says, to prove it’s possible to be a socially conscious Republican (aka 'Woke')
SO. is reverse racism a Utah value?? It may be a Utah Jazz value but does that make it a UTAH value!!
g) While touting “disagree better” and encouraging Republicans to work better with the progressive left, Cox repeatedly mocks, swears at, intimidates and belittles constituents with whom he disagrees, and others too!. He has also been known to sic black SUVs in 'disagreeable' neighborhoods or the neighborhoods of 'disagreeable' others. (NOT JUST BOO AT THEM, Spencer!!) He is also known to use 'other tactics' to silence his rivals, or people he doesn't agree with (Sean Reyes, The Red Pill Girls, etc. et al)
h) America is built on a representative form of government. Our founders warned that pure democracy was as Benjamin Franklin stated “Two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner”. Cox has repeatedly sought to take power away from the elected delegates, enabling big money to choose who gets on the ballot and blocking the grassroots ability to do what we did when we elected Mike Lee. AND he has gone the signature (anti-caucus) route both times (2020 & 2024) he has run for Governor = two strikes!
i) During 2020, Cox violated his Oath of Office and the 'Public Trust' more than 50 times ... SO FAR! [He did it before and can do it again ... if given the hint of a chance!]
Cox repeatedly bullied people and used religious pressure to get them to comply.to the 2020 Mask Mandate, etc., as chair of the Utah Covid Task Force. He also went to the religious leaders in the state and told them the churches had to close (including the LDS Temples) ... isn't that a violation of the First Amendment & Utah Constitution (Art. 1 Section 1) and therefore a violation of his Oath of Office! And there are violations of the rest of the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, 14th Amendment … and the list goes on to a total of over 50 allegations.
j) Utah spent $500,000 of taxpayer dollars on a security building, fencing, gates, and security equipment on Gov. Spencer Cox’s private property in that crime ridden capital ... Fairview, Utah
k) Cox pushed for a new state flag design, spending over $500,000+ of taxpayer dollars (again) on getting the 'new' state flag, which the bill sponsor called an 'arts and craft project,' instead of keeping our Historic and real State Flag.
l) In the 2020 Nov. election, Spencer Cox received more than 53,000 more votes than Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Usually, Governor candidates do not get more votes than Presidential candidates … except here in Utah?!
It was an anomaly, right?
m) It is difficult to imagine ANY voting precinct having MORE than 100% voter turnout for ANY election !! Can you say "RED FLAG!"
Yet Cox had multiple precincts voting for him with larger than usual majorities and with 107%, 110%, and 105% voter turnout in 2020 (SL County). How can that be?
ANOTHER ANOMALY?? Really??
n) All of the 'results' of the election were reported to the Lt. Gov. Office and then released to the public. ANY anomalies should have been investigated and "cured" .... unless they were NOT anomalies but were part of someone's "Plan" (during a year of the 'Planned-demic') I wonder WHO that would have been ??
o) violating his oath of office in more than four particulars (back in 2020’s little “Crisis” :-- among others!
a) Violation of First Amendment Freedom of peaceful assembly via Utah Leads Together 1 & 2 (ULT 1 & 2) Covid-19 Task Force plans which is additionally a violation of the Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 1
b) Violation of First Amendment Right of Freedom of Religion in mandating the closing of churches and temples in Utah which also violates both Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 1 freedom to worship according to the dictates of their conscience and Article 1 Section 4 which says “The rights of conscience shall never be infringed …”
c) Violation of the Fifth Amendment’s last phrase regarding governmental taking private property (such as losing one’s job and ‘living’) without “due Process” and “just compensation” by mandating the closing of non-essential businesses; as well as violating the Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 7 regarding due process by saying “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," and Article 1 Section 22 which states “Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation.”
d) Violation of the First Amendment right of Free Speech and expression, including smiling and frowning, by mandating masks for all ages, indoors and outdoors, as well as violating Utah’s Constitution Article 1 Section 1 where it states “… to communicate freely their thoughts and opinions …”
p) He allowed, promoted, and enhanced a state of fear under his control by furthering the misinformation and false statistics and numbers promoting the false notion of a pandemic [evidence of the dishonest and manipulated numbers is that a pandemic needs a majority of the population affected and a “large geographic area”, by definition, which Utah never had (the majority of the cases were in Wasatch Front counties and was never a ‘majority’ being infected). Utah reported an infection rate of twenty percent, which means 80% of Utah’s 3.2 million people are NOT infected. And a point-five or point-six fatality rate means 99.5 or 99.4 percent of the residents of Utah are not dying of Covid. But they never told us that did they?] removing the constitutionally mandated form of government (a republican form of government, Article IV Section 4) to become an administrative government under a Health Department Police State enforcement threat; which is grounds for another charge of violation of his oath of office and further evidence of malfeasance and misfeasance.
q) An unnecessary culture, or state of fear, has been created in an effort to control the lives of individual Utahns, causing empty, nearing bankrupt hospitals and other businesses that falsely expected a pandemic and preventing legitimate medical needs from being met as people were either afraid of hospitals or not allowed to go for necessary procedures, etc.; perpetuated by a conspiracy between the media and the state, which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office.
r) Even though many public servants admitted there is no danger, the excuse of getting more free federal money in exchange for a state of emergency has been used to try to justify continuing the emergency, continuing to treat the People’s freedoms as if they were simply for sale for the right price (e.g., August 20 press conference with Gov. Herbert) is evidence of additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office
s) As Utah’s Lt. Governor and member of the Executive Branch he acquiesced to the Executive Mandates over Covid without even one confirmed case present in the State – at the time the March 6 Exec. Order was signed and lasting for the Improper 39+ Month Reign of Fear (March 6, 2020 to, by some estimations, June 2023).
(First case of community spread was documented on 14 March 2020. First death was documented on 16 March 2020 – a 65-year-old Bountiful man who had been hospitalized six (6) times in the previous year (2019) for pneumonia. The first mandate was made on 6 March 2020 with Utah Exec. Order 2020-1 from Gov Herbert to close businesses, all citizens of Utah were directed to stay at home for several weeks, and limit assembly with others to groups less than 10 people.[Some families in this state contain more than ten people!]
The last case count on the Utah Coronavirus website was June 2023. A sign the alleged ‘pandemic’ had purportedly become an ‘endemic’.)
t) Every Utahn was restricted by emergency pandemic orders, under the color of law, signed by both Gov. Herbert AND Lt. Gov. Cox, depriving residents of life, liberty, and property, without their individual due process as guaranteed by the 14th and 5th Amendments to the US Constitution, which is grounds for a charge of breaking their Oath of Office as well as Misfeasance and Malfeasance in office.
ETC.
THEREFORE, the 91,000+ registered voters and members of the Independent American Party of Utah do hereby call for an investigation of IMPEACHMENT to be called for against Governor Spencer Cos and Lt. Gov. Diedre Henderson for Malfeasance and Misfeasance in Office for multiple counts stemming from the 2024 Election, Election Anomolies of the 2020 Election, and for actions taken and supported during the 2020 Covid Crisis.
This letter was sent to Utah Legislative leadership on Election Day (Nov. 5th, 2024), also sent to Utah media outlets.
The Open Letter to Gov Cox was also sent to him (via constituent service) and Utah media outlets. As of this day (Dec. 5th, 2024) neither Cox nor Henderson have responded NOR contacted this constituent in reply - poor form 'Gov. Pronoun' and Lt. Gov. 'dupe'
[Note: we will give the Legislative leadership until the first day of the 2025 General Session for their reply, but we are not holding our breath!]
Open Letter to Gov. Spencer Cox:
Dear Gov. Spencer Cox,
Your television ad has your voice-over stating “Here in Utah we know about personal responsibility.” This is your chance to put your actions where your mouth is.
We all found out, during the Legislative Audit Report (2024-16-Rpt.pdf , released Tuesday, October 15th): Spencer Cox submitted 32,883 total signatures, of which 4,877 were rejected. He submitted an additional 492 signatures. Leaving 28,498 total signatures.
We also found out that he had signatures which were incorrectly validated and signatures where were incorrectly invalidated. The sample error for Cox totals 665 incorrectly validated, and 93 which were incorrectly invalidated. So, we have to subtract 665 and add 93 to the total … making his total 27,926 ( 74 signatures LESS than the qualification threshold of 28,000).
THEREFORE, Spencer Cox did not qualify to be on the June Primary NOR the Nov. ballot.
GOV. COX, NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND UP AND DO THE CORRECT THING. WITHDRAW FROM THE ELECTION BECAUSE YOU DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE JUNE NOR THE NOV. BALLOT!!
Don’t be a hypocrite and fail in your sworn duty to live up to the letter of the law, especially since you are an attorney AND have taken an oath to defend and support the laws of the State of Utah.
We, the citizens of Utah await your decision and doing the correct thing. WITHDRAW!
Sincerely,
The 91,000+ members of the largest third party in the State of Utah,
the members of the Independent American Party …
Signed by the State Chair of the IAP,
Greg Duerden.
NOTE: As of Election Day (Nov. 5th, 2024) neither Cox nor Henderson responded NOR contacted this constituent in reply - poor form!!
"Our political leaders will know our priorities only if we tell them, again and again, and if those priorities begin to show up in the polls." Peggy Noonan, American Author
In this election there are many questions about 'Election Integrity' ... but one that seldom comes up is are all the candidates legitimate??
We all found out, during the Legislative Audit Report (2024-16-Rpt.pdf , released Tuesday, October 15th): Spencer Cox submitted 32,883 total signatures, of which 4,877 were rejected. He submitted an additional 492 signatures. Leaving 28,498 total signatures. John Curtis submitted 36,944 total signatures, of which 8,938 were rejected. He submitted an additional 2,594 signatures. Leaving 30,600 total signatures. Derek Brown submitted 31,694 total signatures, of which 3,690 were rejected. He submitted an additional 1,801 signatures. Leaving 29,805 total signatures.
The threshold for ballot qualification is 28,000 signatures. So it appears that all three candidates qualified for the Nov. ballot … but,
We also found out that each of the three candidates had signatures which were incorrectly validated and signatures where were incorrectly invalidated. The sample error for Cox totals 665 incorrectly validated, and 93 which were incorrectly invalidated. So, we have to subtract 665 and add 93 to the total … making his total 27,926 ( 74 signatures LESS than the qualification threshold of 28,000).
THEREFORE, Spencer Cox did not qualify to be on the Nov. ballot. He is an invalid candidate!! (Remember, this is an official audit of the signatures BY the Legislative Auditors.)
Now the question is … what are We the People going to do about it?? Now is the time to contact your legislators and let them know YOUR concerns and priorities – as Peggy Noonan said above.
Are you concerned that we could likely have a Governor who illegitimate (?), or that the majority party will just sweep this under the carpet (?), or worse??
"Bad officials are elected by good citizens who don’t vote [OR vote informed!].” George Jean Nathan, American Drama Critic and Magazine Editor
“THERE CAN BE NO GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE OR FOR THE PEOPLE WITHOUT AN ASSUARANCE THAT OUR ELECTIONS ARE OF THE PEOPLE.”
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!! Notify your Utah House of Representatives and Utah Sentors and let them know you want Cox REMOVED!!
It’s time to restore the values that Utah was founded upon, and that begins with replacing America’s Governor who is not afraid to be “woke” or a cut-rate Gavin Newsome lite.
Funny, as Chair of the National Governor's Conference he is now considering making a Presidential run sometime in the near future. Does that scare anyone out there?
Gov Cox has never voted for Trump but wrote in other names. So, is he really a 'Woke' Republican or just a RINO or more of a 'purple monster' masquerading as a Republican?
While Cox vehemently denies and is lying when he denies that Utah is a sanctuary state, several sources show that Utah has as many as 200,000 illegal migrants within our borders..
I.C.E. stated that 67% of illegal criminals, including MS13 gang members, are being released on the streets, getting drivers licenses, work cards, benefits, pay resident tuition, etc. Migrants are costing taxpayers over $931 million, or $901 per household https://www.fairus.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/utah2023.pdf
Governor Cox is the only Republican governor to declare June the official Pride Month and has done so for four years in a row!
He cries crocodile tears giving a heart-felt speech at a Pride Day event and has supported the Gay Agenda at every turn. Is known as Gov. 'Pronouns.'. Makes one wonder if he isn't also a little 'light in the loafers' as well..
THESE are NOT Utah's Values!!
Utah Republican Governor Spencer Cox is running for reelection this year with funding from some of the nation’s largest Democratic donors.
In December, Cox received a $50,000 donation from David E. Cumming and another $50,000 donation from John Cumming, both of whom registered their contributions under the same Wyoming address as the Cumming Foundation. The foundation’s vice president and executive director, Annette Cumming, was previously the board chair for Planned Parenthood Association of Utah and is currently with the Planned Parenthood Federal Political Action Committee.
Governor Cox vetoed a bill that would have banned men from competing in women’s sports. His veto was over-ridden and the bill became law. He stated in a five-page letter explaining his decision, which he also posted to Twitter; that of the state’s 75,000 high-school athletes, only four were known to be trans, and only one played girls sports (SO FAR! ... once you open that un-natural door ...). “I don’t believe that biological males should be competing against biological females,” he says. “I don’t think that that’s fair, and I believe that most of society agrees with that.” But he wanted to deal with the issue in a 'humane, nuanced way,' or at least try to do that. He can't be either Hot or Cold on this issue but is continually 'luke-warm.' The 'Good Book' says if we are luke-warm God will spew us from his mouth! NOV. 5th is our chance to 'spew' him out and thereafter IMPEACH HIM !!
The first document signed by Cox, in 2021, was the “Utah Compact on Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” He also promoted the Utah Jazz in excluding white kids from scholarships.
WAIT, Racism is bad, RIGHT? And Racism is discriminating against people because of the color of their skin, right? So, it is okay to exclude white kids because of their skin color? Isn't THAT also racist.....??
“There are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that.” He’s determined, he says, to prove it’s possible to be a socially conscious Republican (aka 'Woke')
Is reverse racism a Utah value?? It maybe a Utah Jazz value but does that make it a UTAH value??
BULLYING CONSTITUENTS
While touting “disagree better” and encouraging Republicans to work better with the progressive left, Cox repeatedly mocks, swears at, intimidates and belittles constituents with whom he disagrees, and others too!. He has also been known to sic black SUVs in 'disagreeable' neighborhoods or the neighborhoods of 'disagreeable' others. (NOT JUST BOO AT THEM, Spencer!!) He is also known to use 'other tactics' to silence his rivals, or people he doesn't agree with (Sean Reyes, The Red Pill Girls, etc. et al)
DESTROYING OUR REPRESENTATIVE CAUCUS SYSTEM
America is built on a representative form of government. Our founders warned that pure democracy was as Benjamin Franklin stated “Two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner”. Cox has repeatedly sought to take power away from the elected delegates, enabling big money to choose who gets on the ballot and blocking the grassroots ability to do what we did when we elected Mike Lee. AND he has gone the signature (anti-caucus) route both times (2020 & 2024) = two strikes!
IMPEACH HIM!!!
PUSHED MASK MANDATE DURING 2020, PUSHED THE JAB - and violated his Oath of Office and the 'Public Trust' more then 50 times ... SO FAR! [He did it before and can do it again ... if given the hint of a chance!]
Cox repeatedly bullied people and used religious pressure to get them to comply.to the 2020 Mask Mandate, etc., as chair of the Utah Covid Task Force. He also went to the religious leaders and told them the churches had to close (including the LDS Temples) ... isn't that a violation of the First Amendment & Utah Constitution (Art. 1 Section 1) and therefore a violation of his Oath of Office! (we have 54 more violations by him of his Oath below!).
Utah is spending $500,000 taxpayer dollars on a security building, fencing, gates, and security equipment on Gov. Spencer Cox’s property in that crime ridden capital ... Fairview, Utah
We must Impeach Cox, replacing him with a governor who will put UTAH, America, and its values first. We need your help to get more billboards, yard signs, and ads to help the people of Utah see who Cox really is.
Commit to pushing to Impeach COX & Henderson ... help make OUR year !!
In the 2020 Nov. election, Spencer Cox received more than 53,000 more votes than Presidential candidate Donald Trump
Usually, Governor candidates do not get more votes than Presidential candidates!!
It was an anomaly, right?
It is difficult to imagine ANY voting precinct having MORE than 100% voter turnout for ANY election !! Can you say "RED FLAG!"
Yet Cox had multiple precincts voting for him with large majorities and
with 107%, 110%, and 105% voter turnout. How can that be?
ANOTHER ANOMALY?? Really??
All of the 'results' of the election were reported to the Lt. Gov. Office and then released to the public. ANY anomalies should have
been investigated and "cured" .... unless they were NOT anomalies but were part of
someone's "Plan"
(during a year of the 'Planned-demic')
I wonder WHO that would be ??
(Important Definition:
REMEMBER, IF HE'S DONE IT BEFORE HE IS MORE INCLINED TO DO IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN!!
55 counts against SPENCER COX as he allowed and was actively involved in so much of the 2020 Fear Mongering & ‘Lack of’ Judgement - if not down right illegal - actions and calls' in complying, as he acquiesced to all the mandates, signing several mandates himself as state chair of the Utah Covid-19 Task Force developing all the Utah Leads Together plans , the Stay Safe, Stay Home directives ... and most damning, TELLING all the churches and temples they had to close for the pandemic (see counts 1b & 5, below). Each of the following were also violations of his sworn and ascribed Oath of Office to protect and defend BOTH the Constitution of the United States AND the Constitution of the State of Utah!
Count One - violating his oath of office in the four particulars:
a) Violation of First Amendment Freedom of peaceful assembly via Utah Leads Together 1 & 2 (ULT 1 & 2) Covid-19 Task Force plans which is additionally a violation of the Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 1
b) Violation of First Amendment Right of Freedom of Religion in mandating the closing of churches and temples in Utah which also violates both Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 1 freedom to worship according to the dictates of their conscience and Article 1 Section 4 which says “The rights of conscience shall never be infringed …”
c) Violation of the Fifth Amendment’s last phrase regarding governmental taking private property (such as losing one’s job and ‘living’) without “due Process” and “just compensation” by mandating the closing of non-essential businesses; as well as violating the Utah Constitution Article 1 Section 7 regarding due process by saying “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law," and Article 1 Section 22 which states “Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation.”
d) Violation of the First Amendment right of Free Speech and expression, including smiling and frowning, by mandating masks for all ages, indoors and outdoors, as well as violating Utah’s Constitution Article 1 Section 1 where it states “… to communicate freely their thoughts and
opinions …”
Count Two - Every Utahn was restricted by emergency pandemic orders, under the color of law, signed by both Gov. Herbert AND Lt. Gov. Cox, depriving residents of life, liberty, and property, without their individual due process as guaranteed by the 14th and 5th Amendments to the US Constitution, which is grounds for a charge of breaking their Oath of Office as well as Misfeasance and Malfeasance in office.
Count Three - As Utah’s Lt. Governor and member of the Executive Branch he acquiesced, along with all the Legislature, to the Executive Mandates over Covid without even one confirmed case present in the State – at the time the March 6 Exec. Order was signed and lasting for the Improper 39+ Month Reign of Fear (March 6, 2020, up to, by some estimations, June 2023).
(First case of community spread was documented on 14 March 2020. First death was documented on 16 March 2020 – a 65-year-old Bountiful man who had been hospitalized six (6) times in the previous year (2019) for pneumonia. The first mandate was made on 6 March 2020 with Utah Exec. Order 2020-1 from Gov Herbert to close businesses, all citizens of Utah were directed to stay at home for several weeks, and limit assembly with others to groups less than 10 people.
The last case count on the Utah Coronavirus website was June 2023. A sign the alleged ‘pandemic’ had purportedly become an ‘endemic’.)
Count Four – His failed to stand up to the Executive branch’s violation of the First Amendment Right of Peaceful Assembly with the Exec. mandates of limitation of association (10, then 20, then 50).
Count Five – He allowed the Executive violation of and suppression of Freedom of Religion by going and actually telling them they had to close all the churches in the State of Utah as the Chair of the Covid Task Force (including closure of the LDS Temples).
Count Six - He, and all leadership in the State Government, failed to stand up to the Exec. mandate closing private businesses in the State of Utah – literally allowing a public health police state to take over – and violating the Fifth Amendment right of Due Process before taking Private Property (wages, earnings, and work) without ‘Just Compensation’ – the couple of measly checks from the Fed Gov’t don’t quite cover it!!
Count 7 - He allowed “version” after version of mandates to roll out giving directions to citizens to quarantine, use social distancing, limiting group size of assemblies and gatherings, etc. (Version one of “Utah Leads Together – aka: “ULT” – came out March 24, 2020; UTL 2.0 came out April 17; March 27, Gov Herbert issued the “Stay Safe, Stay Home” directive; and again on April 17 a revised “Stay Safe, Stay Home” directive came out and was in effect until April 29; )
Count 8 - He allowed, promoted, and enhanced a state of fear under his control by furthering the misinformation and false statistics and numbers promoting the false notion of a pandemic removing the constitutionally mandated form of government (a republican form of government, Article IV Section 4) to become an administrative government under a Health Department Police State enforcement threat; which is grounds for another charge of violation of his oath of office and further evidence of malfeasance and misfeasance.
Count 9 - Allowing the horrendous impact on frontline healthcare workers became obvious early on during the emergency. Yet nothing was done to alleviate the stress OR FEAR among the nurses, EMTs, doctors and workers let alone the general public!! Not by the Legislative leadership, not by the members of the Legislature, NOT BY (almost) ANY LEADERSHIP in the State!! Which is further evidence of the breaking of the Lt. Governor’s (Cox) Oath of Office as well as his Malfeasance and Misfeasance.
Count 10 - Repeated violations of constitutionally mandated separation of powers between Executive and Legislative departments of the government of the State of Utah by Executive Orders and mandates declaring policies and regulations that were thereafter imposed upon the People of the State of Utah as though they were laws created by the Legislature of the State of Utah, thus assuming the legislative authority constitutionally held by the Legislature of the State of Utah and the People, which is evidence of the breaking of the Lt. Governor’s (Cox) Oath of Office as well as his Malfeasance and Misfeasance.
Count 11. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have impaired the People’s Right and Obligation of Contracts, involving employment and business operations, destroying their economic liberty, which is grounds for breaking their Oath of Office as well as their Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for both Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 12. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have destroyed the right of the People to enjoy a Republican Form of Government by destroying the constitutionally established separation of powers and checks and balances; usurping and exercising monarchical authority over the affairs of the State; which is additional grounds for breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov Herbert and Lt Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 13. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have impaired the God-given, constitutionally guaranteed free exercise of religion in both the US and Utah Constitutions; which is evidence of grounds for breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 14. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have abridged and limited the right of the People to peaceably assemble, or to peacefully assemble, as directly quoted in the Utah Constitution and the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution; which is additional evidence and grounds for the charge of breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 15. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have abridged the right of the People to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures through utilization of technology to track and surveil their movement and actions (e.g., phone app and tracing), as expressed in the Utah Constitution’s Art. 1 Section 14 by saying: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; …” or the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which states in similar fashion: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, …”; which is further evidence of breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 16. Suspension of habeas corpus (through there has been no case of rebellion or invasion wherein the public safety has required it), and imposed policies and regulations upon the People that have required the People to impose limits of association and virtual house arrest through self-imprisonment and lockdown of the People through quarantine and isolation without court hearings and rulings justifying such impositions; which is further evidence and grounds for the charge of breaking the Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 17. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have required the People to “witness against himself” (a violation of the Fifth Amendment’s right of self-incrimination as well as the violation of the 14th Amendment right of privacy) by directing them to provide private information to the State regarding travel, associations, medical procedures, the outcome of those procedures, the status of health, etc., and to certify the accuracy and truthfulness of the responses with the presumption of penalty if proven untrue or inaccurate; which is further grounds and evidence of breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 18. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have required the People to restrict their freedom of travel and association (e.g., closing state parks to everyone except resident of that county, implementing the tracking and travel portion of the statewide app, etc.), which is additional grounds and evidence for breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 19. Imposition of policies and regulations upon the People that have required students, staff, and faculty of public education institutions to wear face coverings whenever attending, claiming the authority to impose fines and penalties of up to $1,000.00 and six-months imprisonment upon students, staff, and faculty for violations of the “law” – which was not a law but a governor created mandate, under the color of law including Kindergarteners and First, Second Graders, etc. - which is a violation of the 1stAmendment right of free speech and literal expression (such as smiling), which is additional grounds and proof of their blatant breaking of their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, as well as the entire Utah Legislature, both House and Senate, et al.
Count 20. The ‘pandemic’ numbers have been dishonest and manipulated from the beginning, both by the Executive Branch and the Utah Department of Health through the Utah Media, while a public face of pretending to care about accurate data is dishonestly put forth; as the CDC admitted when they said that 85% of ‘Covid deaths’ were not directly caused by the Coronavirus, showing a conspiratorial side to the ‘pandemic’ and is even more grounds and proof of the charge of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 21. Further evidence of the dishonest and manipulated numbers is that a pandemic needs a majority of the population affected and a “large geographic area”, by definition, which Utah never had (the majority of the cases were in Wasatch Front counties and was never a ‘majority’ being infected). Utah reported an infection rate of twenty percent, which means 80% of Utah’s 3.2 million people are NOT infected. And a point-five or point-six fatality rate means 99.5 or 99.4 percent of the residents of Utah are not dying of Covid. But they never told us that did they?
Count 22. Further threats of shutdowns and mandates, under the false color of law, continue to be ever present and continue to magnify the State of Fear Utahns live under during this ‘Emergency.’ Dr. Angela Dunn recommended another shutdown June 22nd, in which we expressed our opposition, as documented on the Duerden/Hill Campaign Blog dated June 22nd and emailed to Gov. Herbert, Lt. Gov. Cox, Dr. Angela Dunn, Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill, and Utah’s Federal Attorney John W. Huber – as well as KSL, KUTV, 4 Utah, Fox 13, Deseret News, SL Tribune, Provo Daily Herald, Ogden Standard-Examiner, and Utah Press Association, etc. And is further grounds for breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-Elect Cox, et al.
Count 23. Utah business and residents have suffered unnecessary hardship or complete ruin under false pretense of a rampant virus, furthering the violation of both the 5th Amendment and Art. 1 Section 7 as well as Section 22 of the Utah Constitution; which are additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 24. The truth has not been stated openly and publicly that the virus is not as big a threat as they want to make it seem – in order to continue and further impose the State of Fear through improper regulations and enforcement of such under the color of law; violating the healthy need to work, the children’s need to breathe unencumbered oxygen (instead of through a mask), and enjoy a more near-normal environment, providing extreme-stress to teachers and front-line health workers and hospitals, etc.; all of which provides additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 25. An unnecessary culture, or state of fear, has been created in an effort to control the lives of individual Utahns, causing empty, nearing bankrupt hospitals and other businesses that falsely expected a pandemic and preventing legitimate medical needs from being met as people were either afraid of hospitals or not allowed to go for necessary procedures, etc.; perpetuated by a conspiracy between the media and the state, which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 26. Angela Dunn, State Epidemiologist for the Utah Department of Health (UDOH), an executive branch agency, has been allowed her propagandistic media tour, with frequent threats to shut down the economy, while the health departments she supervises continue to violate their purview and the Constitutional rights of Utahns by the UDOH assuming the power to govern the economy; which allowing such under their supervision and authority is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 27. Residents have been forced to relinquish the right to hold a job and run a business while breathing oxygen without a cloth or other face covering. A power which even if it were not under false pretenses and color of law has no constitutional basis and actually violates the 1st Amendment right of Freedom of Speech and literal expression (e.g., smiling, etc.) as well as Article 1 Section 1 of the Utah Constitution; which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 28. The government has claimed the authority to take responsibility for our personal health. The government can never cause good health or prevent poor health. They have restricted the right of the individual to choose what he/she will eat, and what he/she will choose as medication and treatment. This is still further additional grounds, evidence and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 29. Threats that The People cannot have their freedom to live and get their lives back until the population submit to supposed medical treatment that is untested, risky, and said to modify human DNA, all based on dishonest data. Or be forced to have ‘Covid Passports’ to prove they have taken the Covid vaccine, do not have Covid, etc. This is further and additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 30. Denying Utahns their right to choose (or not choose) injectable and oral products of the pharmaceutical industry, which is grounds for breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 31. Denial of informed consent in the medical decisions of the People through dishonest data, which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 32. Pharmacists have been prevented from prescribing certain medications (such as Hydroxychloroquine, etc. et al) even when doctors have approved, which is additional grounds, further evidence, and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 33. Even though many public servants admitted there is no danger, the excuse of getting more free federal money in exchange for a state of emergency has been used to try to justify continuing the emergency, continuing to treat the People’s freedoms as if they were simply for sale for the right price (e.g., August 20 press conference with Gov. Herbert) is evidence of additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 34. Significant Malfeasance and Misfeasance in Office and overwhelming multiple charges of their breaking their Oath of Office and charges of violating their Oath of Office by Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox as charged, documented and alleged above and herein.
Count 35. A grossly unconstitutional, freedom-destroying “contact tracing” program has been implemented, invading the privacy of Utahns (as protected in the 14th Amendment as well as the right mentioned in the Utah Constitution, “…to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects. …”) on behalf of a United Nations program, given to the United Stt, passed down to the State of Utah, which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 36. “Quarantine center” or “isolation facilities” have been prepared, evidencing a criminal conspiracy to take the freedoms of Utah residents, and are additional grounds, further evidence, and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 37. Holding jobs and businesses hostage with empty threats, acting under the false ‘color of law’; which is additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count Count 38. Pressuring cities and counties, school districts/ educational institutions (colleges, universities, et al) to pass mandates based on the same dishonest data is, therefore, additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 39. Institutionalized child abuse in the taxpayer supported schools. Forced mask wearing and extreme rules of control are causing severe emotional trauma and anxiety for thousands of children, even though the already dishonest data shows children rarely get the virus, and do not become seriously ill or transmit it; which is, therefore, additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 40. Children were wearing dirty masks they drop on the floor, wear day after day, and have even done with science experiments showing that when given a freshly laundered mask is still full of pathogens that put child at further risk when their mouth and nose are covered. Furthering such mask mandates is, therefore, additional grounds, further evidence, and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 41. Children unconstitutionally and improperly kept from contact with other people (adult family members, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends); which is further additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 42. Children were unable to see and read their teacher’s faces, even when the teacher does not wish to wear a mask. Furthering such mask mandates is, therefore, additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 43. Children’s every move is governed by hundreds of rules to scare them into staying isolation or in compliance, adding to their anxiety, sense of unease, et al.
Count 44. Many students and teachers are getting daily headaches, hypoxia, acidosis, exacerbated anxiety and asthma and many other health issues from wearing masks all day. Chronic oxygen deprivation and re-breathing one’s own carbon dioxide and expelled bacteria can make a child or adult more vulnerable to getting ill, thereby doing more harm to the citizens and children of Utah. Furthering such abusive mask mandates is therefore additional grounds, evidence, and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 45. Teachers have been fired if they choose not to wear a mask, which is a violation of the 1st Amendment right of Freedom of Speech and expression (smiling and frowning, etc.); which is further evidence and additional grounds and proof of the charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 46. Students presenting health exemptions have been sent home as punishment, even if they were able to get such exemptions from competent medical professionals, as a result of the and compounded by the alleged ‘emergency’ conditions. Furthering such mask mandates, is therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 47. A conspiracy exists to try to deny as many health exemptions to the mask mandates as possible, while schools lead parents to believe the right not to wear a mask was going to be honored by simply filling out a form. This was done by pre-warning doctors not to fill out forms, or by being overly nitpicky about which doctor credentials are preferred. Furthering such mask mandates, is therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 48. Children threatened or sent to isolation facilities or quarantine rooms in schools for simply coughing or sneezing, thus adding to their fear of both Covid and peer-pressure as well as pressure and ‘punishment’ from their teachers is a direct result of literal abuse and compounding by the alleged ‘emergency’ conditions. Furthering such mask mandates is therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 49. Children who have face mask exemptions often have parents who have been bullied by teachers and administrators, or teachers have encouraged kids to bully the exempt children. Furthering such mask mandates and associated actions is just, therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 50. Coaches and athletes are being quarantined for two weeks if one lone player has a positive test result, even though it’s well-known positive test results are very common and the tests are reportedly to be inaccurate, dishonest or ‘unfit for testing’ – which is what the founder of the PCR test stated, as 100% unfit for testing for infectious diseases. Furthering and promoting such mask erroneous mandates is therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 51. Teachers are in tears, scared to lose their jobs, unable to breathe and getting daily headaches, and are dealing with confused, scared children who cannot learn properly. It is no wonder teachers are leaving their jobs due to working conditions, fear of working conditions, inability to cope with the additional stress of the added requirements of handling both on-line and live mask-to-mask (when it should be face-to-face) instruction, etc. Furthering such mask mandate issues are, therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 52. Creating a situation where children become vulnerable and desperate to socialize with friends again, and then using that situation to try to turn them against their parents is unconscionable. Such as, but not limited to, using children as propaganda tools in governor’s press conferences, abusing their trust in authority in seeking to train them against their parents who may be attempting to stand up for their rights, etc.
Count 53. Under the constraints imposed by the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, officers of the government (the Legislature, Attorney General, et al) and the judicial system (Justices of the Supreme Court, judges and officers of the court) are bound to protect the rights of individuals and their property but all have failed to do so during this ‘emergency,’ even after formal notice of such (IAP letter of March 16 as a ‘cease and desist letter’ being delivered to AG Reyes, SL DA Gill, and Federal Prosecutor Huber). Which is therefore, additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 54. The power to legislate was improperly assumed or attempted to assume/transfer outside of constitutionally defined bounds – e.g., given to Health Departments, the Governor, Department of Workforce Services, the Covid Task Force, etc.; which is additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Count 55. Utah businesses and residents continue (as of Jan. 2021) to suffer unnecessary hardship or complete ruin under false pretenses of a rampant virus which is additional evidence, proof, and grounds for charges of their breaking their Oath of Office as well as Malfeasance and Misfeasance in office for Gov. Herbert and Lt. Gov/Gov-elect Cox, et al.
Those who were in power DID NOT do their duty NOR remain true to their Oath of Office in that instance, SO, can they be trusted now and hence forth anymore??
