Utah has been helping to elect Republican Presidents, or at least voting for them, as long as I can recall ( don’t understand why they dropped Goldwater!) That’s as much as I need to know. On the other hand, the white-shirted, polite missionaries who knock on so many doors around the country may be the face of Mormonism that kept many home in 2012( I heard it from one person, anyway).
Actually I’ve heard it from a number of people. They refused to vote for a Mormon. I guess they think a Muslim is better.
Although Bishop Romney was running, he got a lower percentage of the Mormon vote than George W. Bush did, Romney’s highest percentage among groups was with Evangelical Christians (79%), the Catholic vote went for Obama again.
