2008 Elections

Here are some links to the elections for this year. (in Utah).

First: a list of all canidates (excel spreed sheet)

Site of the Lieutenant Governor, which has all sorts of voter information, including how to find your polling station.

I always wondered what the Lt Govenor did.

More from the Lt Govenor web pages: here

In 2004 about 68% of the population voted. That is higher that in many past elections. I imagine that percentage goes down when it is not a presidential election. For a detailed account of the statistics from the 2004 election click here

And finally a quote:

No historian of the future will ever be able to prove that the ideas of
individual liberty practiced in the United States of America were a failure. He
may be able to prove that we were not yet worthy of them. The choice is ours.
(Chicago: Charles Haelberg and Company.
