Wyoming Democrats Back Liz Cheney In Her Home County

WILSON, Wyo. — For much of the morning at the place where Liz Cheney was expected to cast a vote for herself in Tuesday’s Republican primary, there were more reporters than voters waiting to cast ballots.

Yet at times, the line to enter the barn-red community center in Wilson — a wealthy, mostly white enclave of fewer than 2,000 people at the base of the Teton Pass — extended nearly to the street. Longtime residents said they had never seen anything like it.

The voters who rode up to the city’s lone polling site in elite performance bicycles, Teslas and luxury trucks seemed mostly to fall into three camps on the polarizing issue of the day, Cheney’s reelection: Republicans who dislike Cheney and voted for her opponent Harriet Hageman; Republicans who admire Cheney’s resolve and bucked what seems to be the overwhelming sentiment in the Wyoming GOP; and Democrats who never voted Republican, but crossed party lines to support Cheney.

Teton County, home to Jackson, a new playground for the ultra-rich set against a breathtaking natural landscape, is unlike anywhere else in this heavy mining and agricultural state. It’s Wyoming’s bluest county, meaning voters here are more likely to be Democrats who voted for Cheney, an uncommon phenomenon that Cheney’s campaign encouraged.

Cheney never arrived Tuesday morning. The Jackson Hole News and Guide reported that Cheney had actually voted the day before at the Teton County Library.

I hope others besides myself will follow the voting results to see how many Democrats actually voted a Republican ticket today.

Open Primaries are a bad idea and we need to get rid of open GOP primaries

Wilson… a mostly white enclave

Doesn’t that pretty much describe all of Wyoming?

The pic they have has 10 people in it. I guess there’s never been a line before.

I was trying to find out when the voting polls close in Wyoming, but i could never get a straight answer.
I expect Liz to lose, but where ever Dems are involved, one has to expect some level of cheating attempts is going to happen. I think they are on Mountain Time.

There are not nearly enough of them to make a difference.

Unlike many other states where Democrats select which Assistant Democrats we will elect.

If unbridled, unexplained increase in wealth gains you a 3rd chin, count me out.

Hogwash. Liz's home county is Fairfax County, Virginia.

She looks a little like George W Bush with long hair and glasses.
