She represents Snowflake Arizona which is a small town near the white mountains in eastern Arizona. If you're familiar with that area you'll know that Snowflake and the surrounding little towns in that area are predominately Mormon.

And,,for all those who are panicking at the thoughts of another inquisition or witch burning episode in history,,,the population of those little towns isn't much. Taylor, Sho Low, St. John a little to the east,,Eagar. Springerville. All small little Mormon towns.
The population of all those little town combined would still be considered sparse. This article is simply an over reaction which these days is typical.
