Talk:Utah
A fact from Utah appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 7 February 2016. The text of the entry was as follows:

Religion section[change source]
Read below what is at the end of the Religion section:
"The Mormons in Utah normally have conservative views when it comes to most political issues and the majority of voter-age Utahns are unaffiliated voters (60%) who vote almost all Republican. John McCain polled 62.5% in the 2008 Presidential Election while 70.9% of people of Utah liked for George W. Bush in 2004."
I don't have any issue with the conservative views point (although a source would be nice), but the voting part bugs me. I know many LDS voters who vote Democrat or don't vote straight Republican or Democrat. I personally don't vote straight Republican--I go with the guy best suited for the job. The presidential election part is largely irrelevant in my opinion to a section dedicated to Religion. I think the political stuff should either get sources or be removed--this is about Religion, not about who or what party gets voted for by LDS people. Sorry, I guess what I just said isn't using Simple English. Any thoughts, people? 24.10.181.254 (talk) 23:51, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
