    Trump and Hillary tied at 26%, McMullin got 22% which is actually pretty crazy.

    Can't make any concrete conclusions until more polls come in, but if McMullin won Utah, it would be the first time a 3rd party candidate won a state since the 60's (that's off the top of my head, could be a different year).

    If the race between Trump and Hillary were close, McMullin taking Utah could throw the race to the house where McMullin Could have a good chance of winning. Which is f---ing crazy that a guy with 50k Twitter followers could become president despite barely getting any votes.

    Trump and Hillary aren't close enough for that scenario to happen imo though
