Jay Evensen: Why tweets on election night matter

Kathie Allen should have reacted better.She could have worded her tweet after her loss in the state’s 3rd Congressional District in ways that conveyed her disappointment, while still sounding gracious.Instead, she tweeted, “(John) Curtis is Mormon and Republican. I am neither. That really seems to be the only thing Utah County cares about, just as I was warned."OK, then.Losing an election can be an intensely emotional experience. Allen quickly deleted her tweet and later apologized.
