Are Mormons told to vote for a specific candidate?
Some claim Mormons are blind followers. They say, “Mormons are like sheep who obey their leaders without thinking or questioning.” When it comes to politics, Mormon voters firmly follow the direction of their ecclesiastical leaders. They do not vote as a bloc and the Mormon Church maintains one of the strictest separations between politics and influencing member’s votes. Mormons are free to vote for any platform they think best represents their personal views.
