In the early days of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church), it's members often had political clout in the areas they settled simply because of their sheer numbers. Generally during these times, wherever the Mormons were, the majority of the population was Mormon. Since they all had the same values and beliefs, they often voted the same way. Mormons have always been encouraged to vote and participate in the political process.

Why didn't the President of the US come to the aid of the Mormons in 1845 when the mobs were attacking the Mormons in Illinois?
The answer is that President Polk didn't think it was a good decision to make politically. Although the numbers of Mormons were growing at the time the people that opposed them were more numerically and had more political clout. Pesident Polk told the Mormons that were sent to him that if he helped the Mormorns then he would be commiting political suicide. He didn't think he could be re-electd if he helped them. So murder and wholesale theft of property was allowed to happen because a President was concerned about his re-election.
