The city employee responsible for oversight of elections in Wallsbugh, Utah "brought new meaning to the job description by overlooking the election altogether," the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

"The new recorder in the town of about 275 just east of Deer Creek Reservoir forgot to announce the opening of the filing period or arrange to hold an election Nov. 5, when voters across the state cast their ballots in municipal elections. By the time the oversight was caught shortly before Election Day, it was too late to field candidates and hold the balloting on the fly."

Gotta be honest, I didn't duck, but that one still went way over my head...

What I think he's saying is that in many Utah elections, you could run a field mouse as the Republican LDS Candidate and they would win, regardless.

Elections although by law must be held, they have little influence over the LDS and the party they choose to run for, and ease with which they win in almost all places in Utah.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

There are a lot of states like that. A Republican hasn't won Cali in the presidential election since Bush in '88. A Democrat hasn't won Texas since Carter in '76.
