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.

...and the sun is predicted to rise tomorrow.
I find it funny that the very elitist democrats she was begging for votes hated her war mongering father when he was VP as much as she hates Trump...
Aside from the Halliburton bad food for our men in Iraq scandal while my son was serving, it was killing 70 birds in one day in a canned hunt I couldn’t stomach. On the other hand, he did shoot a lawyer.
Well, the Dem switcharoo of vpter registrations just did not work , did it?>
Too manny MAGA voters turned out.
HOORAH!
Watch the FBI and the DOJ crank up its persecution and dehumanization of Trump and his family.
But the writing is on the wall for the Left. Kiz got her arse kicked to hard in Wyoming , you could here the splat all the way to San Antonio.
We will be finally saying good bye to Belicosi Peiferosi.
Now we have a anti-American Lame Duck Cheney, and soon to be rid of her and her corrupt family influence. Moving in the right direction.
You blew that one.
Happily to say YES I DID! 😊 The J6 prisoners have finally been some vindicated! Thank you heavenly father! And thank you Wyoming! This woman got her rear end kicked from here to outer space!😂Happy feet dance!
I used to really like Dick Cheney, when it was easy to be a conservative in a conservative milieu. But when the culture shifts, limp-spined RINO’s shift with it.
Liz and her Dem frenz are Leeeeeeeeeewwwwwwdzers!
What are Wyoming democrats doing in Fairfax County, Virginia?
The only ones who stick around when old man winter arrives are the ski nuts. Wyoming has terrific powder snow.
When Dick moved back to Wyo and became Congressman the family lived in Casper, which is real Wyoming. Guess Jackson shows their true colors.
