Utah was the first state to to allow women to vote, granting them sufferage in 1875 in local elections.
Utah is among the reddest of red states, having elected President Bush by some of the highest margins of any state in both 2000 and 2004. Salt Lake City is generally the only exception, having a mayor, Rocky Anderson, who is very liberal. <ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17154193/</ref> Both of the state's Senators ([[Orrin Hatch]] and Bob Bennett) are Republicans, and two out of the state's three Representatives are Republicans. <ref>http://www.govtrack.us/congress/findyourreps.xpd?state=UT</ref>
