Calculated as a percentage of what? Registered voters? VAP? Population theoretically entitled to vote (est.)?

Utah blows my mind a little.  Mormons seem like the sort of conformist cultural subset that would have high voter turnout even among lower middle class people.

Not only was it low, but it fell the most of any state from 2004.

That's not surprising. The Bible issues (abortion/gay marriage) weren't on the front burner this election so the Mormons probably didn't feel as mobilized to turn out and vote for the maverick McCain in the same way as they did for the "evangelical Christian" Bush.

And Romney lost. Smiley
