She will lose the primary, and win as either as an independent or Democrat.

A la Lisa Murkowski previously in AK? Hopefully Wyoming wont have the same dynamics to pull off that stunt.

Does Wyoming have a “sore loser” law?

Should be 50 pts.

She doesn’t even go home to her district.

DC Diva. Lots of money pumped in from NY, Cali, FL, Illinois.

“A la Lisa Murkowski previously in AK? ...”

Like nearly all states, Wyoming has a Sore Loser Law which precludes running as an independent after losing a primary election.

But Alaska has that kind of law too — and did in 2010 when Murkowski lost the Republican primary but still won re-election. Murkowski won in November 2010 as a write-in candidate, not as an independent.

Maybe Cheney can try the write-in approach after she gets decimated in the primary next month? It won’t work, but if she tries it, it will be the best-funded write-in campaign ever (98% funded from outside of Wyoming, of course).

Not quite - Murkowksi ran as a Republican write-in. The way the laws were at the time in Alaska, she could still run as a Republican even though she had lost the primary, though she was not on the ballot and had to run as a write-in. Now she gets RCV - switching to RCV is essentially “The Murkowski Protection Act.”
