You focused on the issue of the Mormons voting as a block,
The Mormons want the issue to be their religion, and the anti’s want it to be polygamy, not the mundane (to us now) slavery issue.

Wrong, I listed it along with several other issues. Primacy of place does not necessarily mean focus. There was no focus.
Actually, most “anti’s” focus on the crimes (theft and fraud, and assassination attempt against Gov. Boggs) of the LDS in MO, rather than polygamy.
Polygamy was much more of an issue in Deseret.
You mean the theft of the Mormon's land? Or the Extermination order? Nah those issues don't have much anti Mormon appeal do they?
Polygamy was much more of an issue in Deseret.
You are correct, but most of the anti's are ignorant and try to focus on polygamy in Missouri.
