Tuesday, Utahns all over the state will be heading to their new electronic voting machines.
Tuesday is primary day in Utah and the hottest contest is in Utah's third congressional district.
There, two republicans - incumbent Chris Cannon and challenger John Jacob - have been battling it out over the issue of immigration.
This race is also attracting national attention because it's viewed as a barometer of how the immigration issue sits with voters; One candidate is accusing the other of being too soft on the issue.
Monday's debate aired on KNRS 570 AM, ABC 4's sister radio station.
Recent polls show Cannon with a slight edge, but with enough undecided voters to keep Jacob within striking distance. At this point, pollsters believe the race is too close to call.

I doubt it but he won't win. If Jacob loses he'll get more UT conservatives' support against Cannon.
This is looking more like a Monty Python routine all the time.
Perhaps because Jacob isn't an out-and-out pro-AMNESTY supporter?
Duh...
Win, lose, doesn't matter. What's important is you made your point.
ROTFLOL
Duh is right. He supports the Pence Plan...which your people call out-and-out amnesty. I know, it's very confusing. I'm glad you're on their team.
Yes, but the Monty Python folks were deliberately doing it to be funny.
Me, too.
Voting early.. Take care & see you tomorrow.
""Jacobs is just a hapless stooge to Tom Tancredo who is making a career of stabbing great conservatives in the back ""
Well, you ain't named one yet.
Tom Delay, Chris Cannon and Mike Spence. Any other questions junior?
Nope, you have made your intellectual capacity quite clear.

For the record, the writer of the anti-Jacob article you keep linking was at one time on Chris Cannon's payroll. Interesting, eh?
If charlie manson announced from his jail cell that he hates all illegal immigrants and was running against Cannon, I sincerely believe some on FR would privately say to themselves, go charlie, with their red hot irrational hate of Chris Cannon.
Well put. Couldn't have said it better myself.
You guys just can't lose gracefully, can you? Next it's onto the third party crap.
And who knows, maybe Noorlander supports Lightening Fast Pass, where potential immigrants get on a transporter pad and get beamed to the US.
