Vote by mail is accurate and secure, Utah election officials say

Rep. Phil Lyman cited concerns with election security, but election officials said there are "no gaping holes" with Utah’s vote-by-mail system. HB371 would have made in-person voting the default in Utah, and voters would need to manually request absentee ballots. Election officials and others argued that it would disenfranchise rural voters, elderly voters and voters with disabilities.
