Why are Mormons being told by the church that if they don't vote for Mitt Romney they will be held accountable for it in the next life and won't get to the Celestial Kingdom or even worse?

No Mormon is being told that by anyone. The Church has a strictly neutral stance on politics, and anyone discussing political issues over the pulpit would be pulled aside and corrected. It's a very strict, very rigorously attended no-no.
Moreover, there is a significant population of devout Latter-day Saints who not only don't support Romney; they don't support ANY Republican. Mormons are a diverse people, and they have no institutional allegiance to ANY political party, or any individual politician.
By the way, let me introduce you to the Senate Majority Leader, the most powerful Democrat in the United States other than the president, and a devout Mormon, Harry Reid. I promise you he won't be voting for Mitt Romney.

Do voters know that Mitt Romney not only believes but knows that thomas s monson is the only person on earth today that speaks directly with god and god tells mr monson what Mitt Romney is to do?
Some may suspect this, but it is untrue. Mitt Romney is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and does believe that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet, but Mormons (including Mr. Romney) do NOT believe that the prophet is the only one who speaks to God. It is a fundamental, basic belief of all Mormons that each individual has the right to speak with God directly. Mormons are expected to develop a personal relationship with God and to speak with Him directly every day. Mormons believe that they should not do anything without receiving individual confirmation from God that it is the correct path for them. Mormons are even encouraged to pray about the instruction of the prophet before obeying it. The Church does not want 'blind followers', but wants members to have a personal relationship with God and to follow His commandments because they know for themselves that it is what they should do, not because it is what someone else says they should do.
