In Utah, Republican gubernatorial candidate Phil Lyman faced a legal setback when Judge Bates ruled on Friday that his initial choice for lieutenant governor, Layne Bangerter, did not meet the state's residency requirements for executive branch officials and was therefore ineligible to run. This decision prompted Lyman to select a new running mate, Natalie Clawson, just days before the state's ballot printing deadline. The controversy and subsequent legal challenges have stirred significant attention as the primary elections approach.
