Shout Out to Dem Voters in Utah's Third!!

I know it is one of the reddest districts in the country, and that Kathie Allen is a long shot to take the seat Chapped-Ass vacated in such a cowardly fashion. Still: Please Get Out there today (unless, of course, you voted early)!!

THANK YOU!!

P.S. I lived in UT County nearly 20 years (raised three non-Mo kids there), and now live in a wonderfully blue county in NV (we don't have a thing on the ballot today).

Not as a resident, but spent a lot of time there helping set up a factory. I was offered a permanent position, but it was too uptight for me.

There certainly were more than a few liberals there, who were keeping a low profile. I wonder if it has changed much.

population. Also, I had heard that it wasn't as overwhelmingly LDS as it used to be.

I admit I haven't seen any recent demographic figures. Also, I don't know how Utah County in particular matches up with other parts of the state, like the Salt Lake metro area.

In other words, Mormons from around the country deciding that they want to live in Zion?
