I have never heard of that happening.

Isn't that an interesting thing that not only do people see a need to sort of keep the peace at some of these polling sites, but that they also think that voting might require someone to have some sort of spiritual assistance before or after.

And so there is something with people connecting voting to their spiritual duty.

And I just think it's an interesting development.

I mean, who knew? We're also seeing the government sending election officials to every single state right now.

I just think this is a very contentious time where a lot of things are happening that we haven't.

Haven't seen happen before.

Let's get together every once in a while and put our names down and see who we vote for.

And it's probably, as you keep saying on the show, because this election is hitting people where things matter most, and that's in affordability.

No matter how we all feel about each other, let's get together every once in a while and put our names down and see who we vote for.

What's the general sense that people are being interviewed?

I think we all want to make sure that voting registries are accurate.

I think people who manage voting registries in the state have said, hey, this is a natural thing we're going through.

We're making sure that everyone who's on our voting list should be.

And then there's always concern.

What are the motivations? Are these—and what's going to be the ultimate outcome? But yeah, as a matter of practice, we all wanna know that who's casting a vote actually deserves to be casting a vote.

Talk about that story for just a moment.

In Utah, especially as donations come in, we're seeing some groups that, for all intents and purposes, are promoting a new shade of red within the Republican Party.

You are asked to get tickets, but they are saying that there are also standby tickets available.

Yeah, I think everyone wants so many opportunities.

Now, tickets went very quickly.

I checked the ticket portal at 11.54, so only 54 minutes into these tickets being available, and they had already distributed 3,037 tickets.

So 300,037.

Let me just do that again.

337,000 tickets.

So give us an idea of what will be happening during these open houses.

I agree.

It's certainly changed the landscape of politics as well as journalism in this country.

And we hope people want to have rational conversations.

We hope they want to gather and hear each other's point of views.

We don't see that very much in society.

Right after our last presidential election, I read a headline in a major publication that said, Hey, you don't have to be around your toxic family this Thanksgiving.

And I thought, well, if we can't even have conversations about politics around the dinner table, then where can we have them? And what role does the media play in encouraging politics? really thoughtful, really two-sided conversations about the things that intersect with all of our lives.

Yeah, maintaining the dignity of the people you're talking to is really critical.

In February of 1846, political tensions and persecution in Nauvoo, Illinois, climaxed just as winter was consuming the city.

On February 2nd, after many early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spent the day in the Nauvoo Temple receiving ordinances, senior leaders sent word to the saints to prepare to cross the icy Mississippi River in anticipation of the saints' journey west.

From the temple, Brigham Young continued to administer the endowment to the saints until late in the evening.

But the next day, a crowd of early members, eager for their endowment, gathered again outside the Nauvoo Temple.

Promising the people that the church would build more temples, Brigham Young sent the crowd away.

But they did not disperse.
