Educated voters within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are leaning more Democratic, BYU sociology professor Jacob Rugh said at the Global Women’s Studies Colloquium on Feb. 4.
He used a series of graphs and maps to show how votes are becoming bluer over time in communities highly populated with Church members. Along the Wasatch Front, 239 precincts voted for President Joe Biden, a Democrat, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a Republican.
