Wyoming GOP votes to stop recognizing Cheney as a Republican

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — The Wyoming Republican Party will no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP in its second formal rebuke for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.

The 31-29 vote Saturday in Buffalo, Wyoming, by the state party central committee followed votes by local GOP officials in about one-third of Wyoming’s 23 counties to no longer recognize Cheney as a Republican.

In February, the Wyoming GOP central committee voted overwhelmingly to censure Cheney, Wyoming’s lone U.S. representative, for voting to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Cheney has described her vote to impeach Trump as an act of conscience in defense of the Constitution. Trump “incited the mob” and “lit the flame” of that day’s events, Cheney said after the attack.

Will she have to register as a Democrat next time she runs?

31-29... hardly a resounding repudiation of this RINO scum.

***********

True, but this is a big step for Republicans who are not inclined to do things like this at all. They too often tolerate the counterproductive RINOs. So this is surprising even though the vote was tight.

Does this change anything for Liz from this point on?
She’s still on that Jan 6th Committee, right?

Pretend to love Liz until she is replaced.

Don’t add another person to Nancy Pelosi’s team.

Wyoming GOP bylaws. Page 5 sections 9 & 11 are interesting.

9. The term “substantially uphold” as used in these bylaws shall be defined as an office holder having a voting record of at least 80% in support of Wyoming Republican Party Platform related legislation or, a challenger to have signed a pledge to support the Wyoming Republican Party Platform-related legislation. Failure to support or commit to support the Wyoming Republican Party Platform shall negate a candidate from receiving Party support, financial or otherwise, during any general election.

10. In the event of a declared Federal or State Emergency, all meetings and conventions may be conducted via electronic means in which all participants can simultaneously hear each other and have the opportunity for recognition similar to a regular in-person meeting. Any requirements for ballot votes may be waived, votes may be conducted via email vote or other electronic means as determined by the meeting. Other allowances for electronic meetings may be allowed elsewhere in these rules. Any conflicting language in the rules shall defer to this rule.

11. Wyoming General Rules for Candidates.

1. Candidate Platform Review: The Republican Party of Wyoming shall make an electronic copy of the most recent Platform available on its website. The County or State Chairman shall distribute a copy of the Platform to each candidate along with all other candidate application papers. The County or State Chairman shall request each non-judicial candidate to indicate whether the candidate agrees, disagrees, or is undecided for each bullet point item of the Party Principles included in the Preamble of the Platform and may include comments if desired. The County or State Chairman shall also request that each non-judicial candidate read the entire Platform and indicate at least ten (10) line items from the Platform that the candidate strongly supports. All candidates for non-judicial offices should file the completed Platform Review containing the candidate’s responses at the time of filing for office. Candidates’ responses shall be collected and recorded by the appropriate state or county party and may be published on the appropriate state or county party’s website prior to the primary. If the appropriate state or county party has no website, a copy of the candidate’s responses may be received from the appropriate state or county party. At the discretion of the Executive Committee of the appropriate state or county party, a candidate’s response may be excluded from posting to the website of the appropriate state or county party.

2. A candidate must return the candidate’s completed Platform Review and the completed Party funding application to be eligible to receive funds from the state or county party.

National RINOs will fund her though.

Good. I haven’t heard (or did I miss those news reports) attack Obama, confused Biden, or any other Democrat to the extent she has attacked Trump.

I get the sentiment, but this accomplishes what? Unless I miss my guess, she’ll still be on the GOP primary ballot. A ballot with the vote split at least 5 ways.

If WY conservatives were smart, they’d be running a rock solid candidate in one of the minor parties in case she survives the primary.

Ah; Buffalo, WY. Nice town. Not far from Sheridan. Other neat little towns near there are Banner and Story.
