Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson slammed Cache County Clerk/Auditor David Benson's management of the county's 2023 general municipal election and alleged the clerk's office falsified an official record in a review of the clerk's office published Tuesday.
“Under your watch, the 2023 Cache County municipal primary and general elections fell unacceptably short of those statutory obligations,” Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson wrote of clerk.
Among the lieutenant governor’s office’s major findings, they alleged the county clerk’s office falsified a legally required “logic and accuracy test” of the county’s elections equipment ahead of the general election, and Benson later told state auditors he did not conduct a second logic and accuracy test after receiving new ballot data.
Henderson’s office found 31 separate issues with how the county ran last year’s election and has ordered Benson to provide a written response and action plan on how the county will fix the issues before Feb. 20.
