women in Utah lost their right to vote in 1887 as a result of federal legislation passed in the further zealot prosecution of the anti-polygamy campaign of the time.

Kid if that were the case three years later in 1890 when the mormons pretended to end polygamy in order to become a state, the women would have got the vote back...

You know, it’s OK to be ignorant.

It isn’t OK to be ignorant when the facts are so easily obtained. The women of Utah regained their franchise upon Utah drawing up a state constitution in 1895. That was the only way to regain supremacy over federal legislation and federal case law.
