"It is possible there may be isolated LDS wards in blue states where there are more Democrats than Republicans, but in virtually every sector of Utah and the other states in the Mormon culture region except the urban areas where non-Mormons live, a staggering disparity now exists between highly conservative Republicans and moderate Democrats. Because this state of affairs has endured without a change in the outcome of presidential elections in Utah since 1968 and in the vote for governor since 1984, and also because a great majority of LDS Church leaders in Utah moved into the Republican Party after the Mormon "People's Party" was forced to give way in order for Utah to be come a state in 1896, many modern observers are under the impression that Utah has always been extremely conservative."
