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.

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.

Agreed.
Prove it Yahoo.
The Lizard has to lose big time. I might do a jig tonight.
Doesn’t that pretty much describe all of Wyoming?
Give the old man an eye patch....arghhhh
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.
Yikes.
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.
When will we know if she lost or cheated?
When did the war monger have a neck amputation?
7PM local time.
One foot in the grave.
She looks a little like George W Bush with long hair and glasses.
