I would just ignore Dane (Marco D) if I were you. He's always in a foul mood and just can't rationally debate an issue. Ultimately the guy, IMO, addicted to attacking any oppositions' race and religion.
As for the LDS letter, they always read these things (as I understand it) during each election (quite a few Churches from several denominations do). I doubt the letter(s) had much to do with turnout etc - parishioners are too used to ignoring them already ;-p.
