Well in Utah, the non-mormon vote would make it one of the most dem leaning states, easily the bluest in the interior west. Eastern Idaho would probably be a little less red, but still very red, like western ID and WY. Now if you account for other demographic shifts in UT without Mormonism, I suspect it would either develop like CO, with a blue urban area and red rural areas, could be anywhere from lean R to likely D. Or it could end up developing like another Wyoming, if SLC never took off. It could also end up being basically an extension of rural NV. The biggest factor would be if it urbanized or not. Of course rural UT would be very red. If you took into account the current racial demographics, urbanization, and education levels, I think it would be blue since suburban college whites lean dem now. But considering the fact SLC might be a lot smaller, I'd say UT would be red state.
