Well, it's morning in America? Weird week. We can't help but talk about the election a bit, so please indulge us. And then, we think, we are done! Unless something else wacky and wild happens.

However, of interesting note, Evan McMullin peaked too early and came in third place in Utah. Trump still carried Utah handily, though by a significantly lower percentage than in 2012. Also, 61% of Mormons voted for Trump.
