How did Park City vote?

As it does all the time for Democrats, Park City voted massively for Biden. Sure, we don’t have stats for our town alone, as those are lumped into our county. That’s right, Summit County has a total population of 42,145 people, including 27,850 who live in the western part of its territory and have a Park City mailing address. 

This means that about two-third of the county’s population lives in the greater Park City area. Park City Municipal, where we live only accounts for 8,488 inhabitants, which means that the 19,362 other “Parkites” live in the unincorporated part of the Park City School District. 

Back to the election, out of 28,785 eligible Summit County voters, 25,790 of them cast a ballot (a whopping 89.6% participation!), with 14,497 or 56.21% voting for Biden and 9,928 or 38.5% for Trump. We need to remember that, outside of Park City, the remaining third of the county is in vast majority Mormon, therefore these folks are for the most part Trump supporters. 

This would lead me to estimate that in the Greater Park City, voters picked Biden 3 to 1 over Trump! This applies to ski towns in other red states like Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. 

Our state of Utah and its 3.2 million population, which in fact is a theocracy like Iran and Israel, has supported Trump, 58% to 37.8% for Biden. 

Only two other counties, Salt Lake and Moab voted for Biden! We still have to work hard in order to make a Democratic dent in that ultra-conservative states!
