Our illustrious Attorney General Sean Reyes is embarrassing Utah in the worst way. He has signed on to a pathetic effort to undermine a democratic election for the sole purpose of eroding Americans’ faith in the electoral process. To what end — so we won’t have faith in the next presidential election?

The election is over and there is nothing any of them can do about it. Joe Biden will be our president for the next four years. There must be another reason they are hell bent on destroying our democracy and the Constitution.

Oh wait, I know what it is. It’s to hold on to their base who now think the election was “rigged” and the new administration is illegitimate.

Please, Sean, come back and help deal with our increasing crime rate.

David G. Payne, Salt Lake City
