2016 Utah Elections Update
2016 Utah Elections Update Publication — 11/10/2016 Utah's Election: The results for many of the swing seats in Utah were greatly delayed by late return posting from Salt Lake County. The first statewide mail-in balloting did not go as smoothly as planned and the lack of Election Day Kate Bradshaw in-person polling locations resulted in long lines with voters still waiting to cast ballots in many Salt Lake County locations until after 11:00 pm. This Director of Government Affairs had a particular impact on many of the down ballot races, particularly for 801.799.5711 the State House, where the margins are razor thin. The Salt Lake County Salt Lake City clerk acknowledges they still have many ballots to count over the next few [email protected] days as results are finalized. Some races in the State House are close enough that we likely won't know the victor until the final canvass is complete. You can follow the return updates at elections.utah.gov. Utah Federal Offices: Overview: The Republican Party will continue to hold all of Utah's U.S. Senate and Congressional seats. In each of the Utah races, the incumbent won. Given the Republican control of the 115th Congress, the Utah delegation is well positioned to keep or gain important chairmanships or leadership positions. U.S. Senate: Incumbent Republican Senator Mike Lee easily cruised to victory against Democratic challenger Misty Snow in a 68% to 27% victory. This was never a serious test for Lee, but did feature a first for Utah with the first transgender candidate in Snow.
