Some Wyoming lawmakers are pushing for changes to the state's primary election process, but it is still unclear exactly what the changes would be or if they could go into effect before the 2022 election, when Congresswoman Liz Cheney will face off against a crowded field.
During meeting of the Wyoming Legislature's Joint Corporations Interim Committee meeting Monday, Election Division Director Kai Schon said the Secretary of State's office recommends the Legislature take up the issue during the 2022 session to implement the changes for the 2024 election, due to a need for a constitutional amendment. But during discussions, he added that a ranked choice voting process could possibly be put into place quickly, before the 2022 primary.
The discussions on changes to the primary process are continuing from a bill that died in March that would have created a runoff election system, and the committee will continue discussing the possibility going forward.

“Ranked voting” is designed so votes for Ralph Nader or Jill Stein go to the Dem...
Maine has it, too.
And HR1 has RCV provisions.
Deep State is finally dropping the mask.
BTW, the voting process isn’t the only problem.
The other is the RCV-enabled voting machines.
That software is mighty handy...
BTW, looks like WY already has the RCV enabled machines...

March 2020 on that above link. Right when CoupFlu started. What a coinkydink.
Is this really gonna help Chaney? If there’s a sizable number of people who are voting against her instead of for a specific candidate, this ranking isn’t really going to help her is it?
A vote isn’t real unless it includes “none of the above” as a choice that gets tallied and can win.
Ask Collins and Murkowski.
There’s an answer for that.
Establish a None of the Above party.
Select as a candidate someone who’s willing to get sworn in then quit after winning.
Would work better for House seats than Senate seats, I suspect, unless Ron DeSantis is your governor.
The RCV provisions are in HR1 for a reason.
Depends on how many R candidates run. They split the votes wider and all she needs to do is get a few more votes than the next one.
As the reshuffle count starts all she has to do is have a couple more votes at the end and she wins.
If her and 8 others run and she gets 20% and the others 10% each she wins the first shuffle.
For somebody else to win every R Voter would have to place her dead last on their ranked choice ballot.
its actually about getting tight enough vote differentials to be able to pull off a fraud.
These guys organizing this wrote the book on that process
Here is where President Trump could truly help. Vet a good candidate early and back him or her loudly and often. One Trump rally in WY would seal the deal.
I like ranked choice voting. It’s much cheaper than a runoff.
Primary elections, if they exist at all, should not be run by State governments or regulated by State legislation.
Allowing that legitimizes the two major parties and gives them millions of dollars they would otherwise have to raise.
Let the parties run their primaries. Sink or swim.
If all the candidates that run appeal to anti Chaney voters then they will put her in last place. I expect there will be a lot of anybody but Cheney voters. If there wasn’t this rank voter Option, Then she might be able to beat a group of anti-Cheney candidates. But if there’s ranking Everyone can vote for their own anti Cheney candidate and just rank her last.
Don’t do it, it almost always favors the RATS!
Last time I checked, Murky and Collins are Pubbies.
Hint: This ain’t about party.
The only reason two parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
Candidates are either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
Guess which candidates RCV will ensure win...
I don’t think Chrney isn’t the same situation Lisa Murkowski was. Murkowski never lost her constituents as much as Cheney did.
