SALT LAKE CITY — Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson's office confirms to FOX 13 News she has received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice seeking voting-related information.
"Earlier this month we received a letter from the Department of Justice asking for voter roll information. Our office is currently working through the request with our legal counsel and will provide the DOJ with the data we are able to give pursuant to federal and state law," Lt. Gov. Henderson said in a statement late Wednesday.
In her role as Lt. Governor, Henderson is Utah's chief elections officer.
In other states, elections officials have received letters demanding voter data in what appears to be the Trump administration's desire to look into claims of "election fraud."

In Maine, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows replied in a statement: "The Gulf of Maine is awfully cold, but maybe that’s what the DOJ needs to cool down. So, here’s my answer to Trump’s DOJ today: go jump in the Gulf of Maine." She retorted that the U.S. Constitution gives election power to the states, not the federal government and she would not comply over concerns about voter privacy.
During an event on Wednesday in Ogden, Congressman Blake Moore told reporters he has confidence in Lt. Governor Henderson and the county clerks and how they run elections.
