Utah was the only state in 04 to vote left of the presidential results with the gay marriage ban.  So who are these voters.
Bush got 71% but the ban only got 66%.

Mormon polygamists who objected to marriage being one man and one woman.

Well to be frank it was likely Bush-Matheson voters in the second congressional district and moderate Republicans in Salt Lake County (it was quite a close vote there) who were non-Mormon.

I wonder if such an amendment would pass today, especially given the cultural assimilation of younger LDS members.

Probably the amendment would pass 51 to 49. Very close call. But it couldn't pass without Utah County being a part of the state Smiley.

Didn't/doesn't Dick Cheney privately support same sex marriage due to his daughter Liz? He wasn't a resident of Utah, but if he was, he might have quitely voted against a ban, but for Dubya and himself obviously.
