• Letter: Keep the faith

  22-11-2020 23:00 via sltrib.com
  
  In 1942, the American people were asked to make sacrifices for the common good of the nation and the world. People were given monthly ration cards to limit the consumption of gas, coal, tires, meat, sugar, butter and much more. The nation’s war effort needed these items, so Americans sacrificed their personal needs.Today we are fighting a different war — one against the spread of the coronavirus, which has taken almost 240,000 American lives. In this past week alone, 59 fellow Utahns

  Washington • One spent the week at his home in Delaware carefully trying to build a government and preparing to take on a pandemic.The other largely kept to himself behind closed doors at a mostly empty White House, angrily tweeting and using his office and allies to try to subvert the results of an American election in a dangerous breach of democracy.If the differences between President-elect Joe Biden and President Donald Trump were not already clear, the days since the Nov. 3 election wa

  I’m a 65-year Utah resident now living part time in California, and a longtime subscriber to The Tribune and Deseret News. I’m now also a subscriber to the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register — I like to get both sides of the story.The president’s ongoing temper tantrum is not only childish but also dangerous.

  Philadelphia • As they frantically searched for ways to salvage President Donald Trump’s failed reelection bid, his campaign pursued a dizzying game of legal hopscotch across six states that centered on the biggest prize of all: Pennsylvania.The strategy may have played well in front of television cameras and on talk radio to Trump’s supporters. But it has proved a disaster in court, where judges uniformly rejected their claims of vote fraud and found the campaign’s legal

  I appreciate our governor-elect’s claims about voter fraud, and how Utah politicians believe in civility and working together. May I suggest somewhere to start? Seriously consider the recommendations from the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission, and make equitable representation the goal when redistricting. A few facts:• Biden carried nearly 38% of the popular vote in Utah.• Statewide, Democratic candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives carried almost 36% of the vot
