Looks like you have to hit the below link (i.e federal office) twice to get the primary results. Polls close at 10:00 PM EDT(8:00 PM MDT)

Primary results

I tried to link a direct link but it doesn't seem to work.

Thought I would start an official thread.

I predict a Cannon win by a margin of 52.0 percent to 48.0 percent.

Here is a link to KSL's election page.

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=414&sid=323410

It has all the races.

[Clintonfatigued]

The polls don't close out there for a while yet. Still, thanks for the link. If John Jacob's foot-in-mouth episode doesn't put off too many voters, then we'll see Americans take a stand in favor of border security & national sovereignty.

That being said, Chris Cannon should do well in Salt Lake County.

[Clintonfatigued]

That sounds like a good estimate, although I hope you're wrong about the winning candidate.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

So far nothing from KSL.

[LdSentinal]

Good call.

KSL should have the best links.

According to the Trib, low turnout (which seems amazing for such a high profile race), and a slow count. So this thread might not get much action for two or three hours. Does anyone know whether Utah counts absentee ballots before hand, and posts the results soon after the polls close, and what percentage of the votes absentee ballots typically make up of the total?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

If Cannon (unfortunately) wins, it'll be interesting if UT conservatives turn their attention to Jim Noorlander the CP candidate in the general election.

All I know about the absentee ballots is that you had to register as a Republican 1 month ago to vote absentee in this primary.

Utah is totally electronic. We may have the results within the hour after the polls close.

'If Cannon wins, Satan wins.'

[Torie]

Not according to the Trib for some reason.

LOL!

[Texasforever]

This is weird. Low turnout, electronic votes and slow count. I would have thought it would be fairly fast.

[CWOJackson]

Satan is jiggling the software.

[Torie]

Ping.

[Texasforever]

LOL

[SDGOP]

heres the link to just the data, could you change it?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Cannon's illegal aliens designed the software.

[Dane]

Thank you for finding that link.

[Dog Gone]

The polls don't close for five minutes.

Only Satan could give you results now.

[Texasforever]

Only Satan could give you results now.

LOL

For what it's worth, every good conservative I know in Utah voted for Cannon today!

[GoBucks2002]

If Cannon goes down, I bet we can expect the MSM to remind everyone that he was a House Impeachment Manager, as in "Another Clinton Impeachment Manager Bites the Dust." Yep, those Utah GOP voters took trying to impeach Clinton out on his hide... 8 freaking years later. :)

[Torie]

Per a google, Utah as of 2004 counted absentee ballots on election day, or the Monday after election day. It does not have the California system, of counting them before election day. So this might be one boring thread for a long time. Pity.

[Texasforever]

I fully expect, if Cannon wins, it will be claimed it was because all of the illegals voted for him.

[Texasforever]

Thanks.

[Torie]

This might be an entertaining thread. :) Of course only the PST folks might be around to chat about actual results. But maybe someone did an exit poll. Keep hope alive.

[Altair333]

The low turnout hopefully means the immigration voters will have a disporportionate impact.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

For what it's worth, every good conservative I know in Utah voted for Cannon today!

Who, all two of them?

[CWOJackson]

Numbers coming in.

[catholicfreeper]

That gives me hope

[JCEccles]

Don't know many people, huh?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Some conservatives might but at that point Cannon's a shoo-in. We'll have to wait another two years.

Watch the Chafee primary in September. You'll probably find most of the Cannon supporters on those as well saying it's our duty to back the RINO.

[southernnorthcarolina]

I wish I lived in a state where a Congressman with a lifetime rating of 97 from the American Conservative Union was considered a liberal.

[Dane]

Or it means the it was the GOP faithful who turned out and according to Deseret News poll, taken before Jacob's satan comment, Cannon was leading by 60-35.

"But at least he does have strong support among the Republicans" in the survey — where Cannon leads 60-35 percent. And the race is in a closed Republican primary, open only in their case to GOP-registered voters

[LdSentinal]

Those three precincts in Utah County are directly above the Vortex to Hell.

[catholicfreeper]

I am not familar with Utah talk radio stations which ones that stream will have the best coverage?

[Dog Gone]

I don't have much hope of knowing the outcome before I have to call it quits on Central time.

But with as much hype as went into this race, and as fractured as FR was over it, it should be an entertaining thread. You guys out west have a lot of advantages. Everything happens before you have to hit the sack.

[JCEccles]

You boy's already been humiliated, Dane.

Soiled his pants and wept like a baby.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I agree. Cannon got the message loud and clear regardless if he loses or wins. If he starts with the pro-illegal BS he's toast for sure in 2008.

[Dane]

Could you please keep your private moments between you and your dominatrix to yourself.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

People will start fighting him the day after the election.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Where are you getting those figures? KSL still has no precincts reporting.

[JCEccles]

Cannon is toast anyway. If he pulls it out tonight, the game is back on again first thing tomorrow.

[CWOJackson]

Directly from the state link...posted up above.

[Recovering_Democrat]

This will indeed be a "referendum" on the immigration issue, won't it?

Funny how the media ignores this race.
