I am writing to express my strong support for Utah's existing mail-in voting infrastructure and to urge you to resist any efforts to dismantle it. Our state has a proven track record of conducting secure and accessible elections through this system, and it is a model of civic efficiency. Utah has been a leader in vote-by-mail for over a decade, with a system that is both secure and highly accessible. Our state's process includes multiple layers of safeguards that ensure the integrity of every ballot. Every ballot envelope requires a signature that is verified against voter records, and ballots are tracked with unique barcodes to prevent double voting. The entire process, from ballot printing to counting, is overseen by bipartisan election workers and is subject to public audits. The claim that mail-in voting is susceptible to widespread fraud is unsubstantiated by the facts on the ground in Utah. Our system has been instrumental in increasing voter turnout and making it easier for all citizens—including those who are elderly, have disabilities, are serving in the military, or have demanding work schedules—to participate in our democracy. I trust that you will stand firm in your support of our state's election integrity. Our system works, and it has earned the trust of Utah voters. Continuing to uphold and defend it is essential to a healthy and representative democracy.
