We're going to fund the Western States Primary to the tune of $3.5 million.

This won't be just a straw poll run by the parties, but an offical, all-out primary. The hope, of course, is to give the American West equal footing with other regions in selecting our country's president.

If you would like to do something to increase the attention given to Utah by Presidential candidates, why not divide the state's electoral votes according to the percentage of the popular vote each candidate gets?

As long as both Democrats and Republicans know that all 5 (or 6) of Utah's electoral votes will undoubtedly go to the Republican, why would either side waste time or money here? There is nothing to compete for.
