Had their not been a third "favourite son" candidate would the Electoral College result have been different?<br />I note that Salt Lake gave more votes to Clinton than T**** but a decision not to travel there is rough justice, JDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06471656063812824731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24066635.post-60724707977095944522018-03-07T15:50:23.841-05:002018-03-07T15:50:23.841-05:00Actually, a majority of Utah voters voted for some...Actually, a majority of Utah voters voted for someone OTHER than Trump, myself included.

I totally enjoyed the sessions I was able to watch last week, and plan to look up those I missed on the replay pages, as well as to review others in order to take some more detailed notes. I especially recommend Jennifer Holik's session on researching WWII soldiers (using techniques also applicable to soldiers who served in WWI Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24066635.post-75103250048792065012018-03-05T13:29:15.616-05:002018-03-05T13:29:15.616-05:00Well said John.

Thursday, RT9906 - Yaniv Erlich "MyHeritage DNA 101 From Test to Results." Excellent point by point presentation by very knowledgeable speaker. <br />2. Friday, RT4821 - Myko Clelland "FindMyPast's British & Irish Hidden Gems."

It is true that we are terribly polarized, probably on a par with 1860 or 1775. But it is important to speak out for what is right.
