Republicans accuse Wyoming GOP of election fraud

Conrad, who was fairly confident he had the votes he needed to win, entered the race for the chairmanship of the Uinta County Republican Party earlier this month.

Then state party leadership intervened.

Uinta County Republican Party chair candidate Jon Conrad. According to Conrad and a complaint filed jointly with the Wyoming Secretary of State and the Wyoming Attorney General’s Office, the recently ousted county party leadership — backed by the Wyoming Republican Party — illegally allowed four members of the executive committee who had lost their precinct seats last August, including Allred and both Williams’, to vote in the county’s elections, giving the ousted incumbents an advantage against Conrad’s insurgent regime. Simply put: Conrad alleged that four people who were no longer eligible to vote served as the swing votes in their own re-election.

Conrad lost, and the previous establishment — including Williams’ daughter, Biffy Jackson — were re-seated in leadership positions in what Conrad and his allies claim was a violation of Wyoming law. Unlike the primaries, they argue, in which all registered members of a party are eligible to vote, state statutes hold that only precinct committee members can vote in leadership elections, and those members must have been duly elected to their precinct positions earlier that year.

I guess that this is why Liz Cheney is where she is now.

Someone explain why the hell an intra-Party selection process is codified in State Law?

Democrats can change election law illegally...why can’t the Republicans? Probably tickles the Democrats to see the inter-party squabbling going on with the R’s.

Virtually all our institutions and our two newest generations, at least, are corrupted.

Very unfortunately.

Part of the "Progressive" "reforms".

The idea was to make parties more transparent, accountable to the people, and less subject to corruption...

:: make parties more transparent, accountable to the people, and less subject to corruption ::

So they made them accountable to the law-makers in government.
Uni-party laws.

Any time you have fundraisers, voting, lotteries, etc., fraud and consumer protection laws apply. State laws apply to even simple raffles and bingo games within private organizations.

This is standard operating procedure. The powers that be already know who is going to win, and they make sure it happens. We saw this happen at a precinct meeting in Oklahoma. When it looked like the “upstart” was going to win, they stopped the proceedings and changed the rules. Politics is a giant scam.

Is there a citation of the law in question anywhere?

A seated official would seem eligible to vote if their term has not expired. An official whose term has expired would not seem to be able to even pretend to participate.
