why is utah (pop. less than 3 mil) so important to elec.?
Utah has 6 electoral votes. Those electoral votes would matter in a tight election.
If either Trump (or God forbid, Hillary) is ahead by a substantial margin in the electoral college, then Utah and it’s 6 electoral votes will not matter at all.
