Summary

Voter turnout is expected to be strong in Utah this year, thanks in part to high profile races such as the too-close-to-call presidential race, Utah's newly created 4th District race, the governor's race and the Salt Lake County mayor's race.

Straight party voters are a group of irresponsible lazy voter who don't care about their rights and constitution or government. What is happening on our Capital Hill is making us victims of unethical government, excessive taxation, and More..

I have been voting since 1969. I have never voted a straight party ticket. I never will. I vote for the person not the party. I would like to see political parties eliminated. They do not serve well the country or its citizens.

The Democrat slogan has quit working for me. Vote Democrat we hate America but will pretend to love it if you vote for us.
