Not according the article, Dane. Turnout was higher this year than in 2004.

High turnout always favors incumbents

It was 7% in the biggest county with the most precincts, Salt Lake County.

Wouldn't be the first time the AP got it's facts wrong.

It wasn't a poster that said this or the AP.......read the article...

"Between the president and Mrs. Bush's endorsement (of Cannon) and the church's statement from the pulpit -- those were the two biggest factors that helped Cannon in his re-election," said Ron Fox, who helped run Bush's Utah campaign in 2000 and 2004.

" "I think the church's desires were to get people to the polls and vote and I think, as a byproduct, it assisted Cannon in his re-election," he told The Salt Lake Tribune."
