Some Wyoming Democrats are switching parties to register as Republicans for the upcoming primary election, according to a longtime county clerk, prompting her to urge voters to practice their own form of election integrity.
Incumbent U.S. Representative Liz Cheney, who was censured by her own party in February, is being challenged in the Republican primary election for Wyoming’s lone U.S. House seat by Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman and others.
Julie Freese, Fremont County’s clerk for 28 years, said she is hearing on-the-ground commentary from traditional Democrats saying they’re registering as Republicans solely to vote for Cheney in the Republican primary.
“We have had people come in recently to change from Democrat to Republican,” Freese told Cowboy State Daily, “and they have told us, ‘I am changing my party to vote for Liz Cheney.’ That’s what they’ve said, flat out.”
Not everyone who makes the switch tells the clerk’s staff why they’re doing it, she added.
“If they aren’t telling us why they’re doing it, it’s private,” Freese said, adding that “a large amount of people… are not telling us why they’re changing.”
Freese said she could not accurately estimate what percentage of crossover voters are making the change to influence the Republican primary.
“But that’s what the frustration is,” she added. “It’s been pretty boldly stated in the last two or three elections (including the current one) that they’re doing it to affect the other party’s race somehow.”

Using the system to defeat the system.
Are they locked into a party once they've voted in the primary?
Do they have to vote the same party in the primary and general elections?
She is poster girl for what the GOP has become.
And it’s WHY we have Trump and no one wants to abandon him. I have not regarded myself as a ‘Republican’ for decades...I’d be TOO ashamed!
Here’s an example.
In Ohio where I am, there is unsettled redistricting going on, so in our recent primary, some issues were not on the ballot.
We will get to vote on them when the redistricting is finalized. So, I contacted the RNC to ask about the date for that and HOW we would be notified about voting at that point. ( I don’t buy the local newspaper )
The half-wit at the RNC who answered me said:
1. I don’t understand your question
2. When he DID understand the question, he said I should contact the RNC for the vote date, because they have no notification protocol in place, to let us know.
3. I explained, ‘That means I’ll have to check with them daily, so I won’t miss the chance to vote’.
4. He’s SO stupid, he agreed.
5. To show him what a stupid idea that was, I suggested, “Maybe the RNC can include the vote date notification with one of their many requests for money.’
6. The moron agreed that it was a good idea. (Proving MY lifelong conviction that it’s impossible to insult stupid people.)
So, it took six f’n e mails to arrive at back where I started.
Thanx...I was wrong...I really should read further.
Voters must affiliate with a party to vote in that party’s primary.
Unaffiliated voters may register with a party at the polls on primary election day to vote in that party’s primary.
So who is organizing and paying them off?
I’ve been saying this for quite some time now.
The STEAL is on.
I’m sure their neighbors would like to know who they are... maybe a protest in front of their homes. Like democrats in front a Supreme Court Justices’ homes...
And that’s why we need to start running DINOs in all primaries.
The deep-rooted subversion of our institutions can only be overcome by cultural revolution, and sadly, open war.
Correct. V*ting will not avail us.
Maybe we should run a Maga candidate in the Dem primary to make the groomers nervous and keep them on the Dem side of the yard.
It’s the left’s version of voting for the lesser of two evils.
