Gov. Spencer Cox said he would support closing the amount of time Utahns have to cast their mail ballots to allow county clerks to process votes earlier.

Cox's comments reinforce Utah 's embrace of mail-in voting, which is rare among conservative states.

A legislative audit released this month found no "significant fraud," but it did find that 1,400 deceased voters had not been cleared from voter rolls.
