fiogf49gjkf0d Check out the Wikipoopy page on Summit County UT:
Residents of Summit County have in recent elections given a significantly higher percentage of their vote to Democrats than voters in the rest of Utah. Although George W. Bush narrowly won Summit County in 2000 and 2004, it was his worst performance in the state. In the 2006 Senate race for example, Summit County was the only county carried by Democrat Pete Ashdown even as the Republican incumbent Orrin Hatch carried the state as a whole by a 2 to 1 margin. Likewise, in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Barack Obama carried the county by a 15.3% margin over John McCain, with McCain carrying the Beehive State by 28.1% over Obama.
On the county level, most of the elected offices are held by Democrats, including four of the five seats on the newly-created Summit County Council: John Hanrahan, D; Claudia McMullin, D; Sally Elliott, D; Chris Robinson, D; David Ure, R.
Summit County was one of only two counties (along with Grand County) to vote against Utah's same-sex marriage ban in 2004. It was also one of three Utah counties to vote for Democrat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election. It also has the second smallest proportion of Mormons of any county in Utah after Grand County.
In June 2010, Summit County became the sixth local government of Utah to prohibit discrimination in employment or housing based on a person's sexual orientation or gender identity.
