In Utah we believe in the power of AND. We can be a supermajority Republican state AND vote by mail. Since implementing vote by mail, Utah went from having one of the lowest voter participation rates in the country to one of the highest. Although Utahns have the option to vote either by mail or in person, over 90% of voters choose to return their ballots via the USPS or a secure drop box. The fact is, a majority of Utahns appear to love both vote by mail AND the Republican Party.
