My favorite thing about mail in voting is Utah. Utah for years had a very successful mail in voting operation. Everyone loved it. A few critics here and there, but generally well respected. Then Trump lost and now mail in voting is a very bad thing, don't you know! (even thought Trump won by an overwhelming majority in Utah via mail in voting)

Is they could self reflect they'd be very upset.

I thought Trump was really unpopular with Utah Mormons?

Perhaps relative to evangelical Christian denominations. There's still enough support that he won the state pretty handily.
