Wyoming lawmakers will continue to discuss proposed election changes endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. for their potential to undermine U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, but not for next year as originally planned.
A legislative committee voted Thursday to delay the proposal for what would be Wyoming’s first primary runoffs from as soon as 2022 to no sooner than 2024. Local election officials told lawmakers they wouldn’t have enough time to make both the election changes and required adjustments to legislative district boundaries next year.
“It’s too big of a lift in a redistricting year,” Mary Lankford with the Wyoming County Clerks Association told the state Senate elections committee.
Local officials also said they worried about cost. The committee wrote the potential $1.5 million cost into the bill before voting 4-1 to advance it to the full Senate.
In the Senate, the cost could be a turnoff to lawmakers confronted with declining revenue from Wyoming’s coal, oil and gas industries, which have led to steep state and local cuts.
Two state legislators —- Sen. Anthony Bouchard, of Cheyenne, and Rep. Chuck Gray, of Casper — already have announced they are running against Cheney, Wyoming’s lone congresswoman and a fellow Republican, for voting to impeach President Donald Trump for the U.S. Capitol riot.
Trump Jr. in January urged Wyoming voters to unite behind a Cheney opponent next year when he called in at an anti-Cheney rally led by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz at the Wyoming Capitol.

Does anyone remember the stolen election of 2020?
Are any Republicans working to secure transparent election?
Why are we using voting systems with proprietary software that can't be examined before, during, and after an election?

Are Republicans going to wait until they're locked out polling stations after they close on election night in the next midterms to raise questions about every aspect of the election process?
Why aren't Republicans screaming 'bloody murder'?
Republicans like their elections rigged, too.
How do you think they stay in office so long while crapping on their constituents?
This is obvious BS intended to fool a few of the sheep while the Cheney family goes on its merry way through more election cycles.
“The state GOP central committee censured Cheney in February for her impeachment vote. But for the most part Wyoming’s Republican elected officials have continued to support her.”
The key paragraph. Republican elected officials are spineless, even in WY — which is my state. I for one will be doing everything I can to defeat her and any Republican that defends her, including our senator — Barrasso
There’s no redistricting. It’s a one seat state. Sounds like bull to me.
We shouldn’t focus on primarying Cheney or Kinzinger. They should be easy to beat. Get the state legislatures to fix the elections.
Is Wyoming going to turn down federal aid like Senator Scott has called for?

Excellent list, my good FRiend.
Should wording to the effect that no ballots accepted after election day (except boda fide Military ballots, accompanied by some persuasive counter signatures)?
And major felonies for voter fraud, especially at the level of organized labor and elected officials?

A redistricting year? Howareyou going to redistrict an atlarge seat, give Jackass Hole to California?
