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 can see this has the potential to take 4 or 5 weeks to count the “votes” to determine the winner. Especially the votes that were cast in the voting machines.

I saw today that the decrease in registers Democrats is almost identical to the increase in registers Republicans.

How sorry of a party are you when you have to resort to stuff like that?

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

Has anybody actually seem both of them in the same room at the same time?

Yes Georgia is a train wreck and only getting worse.

The runoff is just one of many issues.

Did he ask that after the polls closed?

He's a master at reporting after the fact information and the Tucker/Fox News Neanderthals eat it up like it's new.

Agree. Those idiot GOP jerks resulted in huge amounts of judges getting appointed the last two years. That’s going to be a pain even with having the Supreme Court which only hears 100-150 cases a year if that.

Dickie boy has the same leer as the character from Breaking Bad (Character actor Mark Margolis, who played one “don” of the Salamanca drug gang, Hector Salamanca). A permanent leer on a very evil “mind” character reduced to communicating with one finger on a desk bell.

What a strange disturbing photo, and democrats support the guy (whom they called Darth Vader to GWBush) who has ads saying Trump is the greatest threat to US National Security?!! More like Dickie and Lizzie Cheney’s mil industrial bank roll threatened- starting in Iraq.

When will we know if she lost or cheated?

She looks more like she's been cheese-ed, than cheated, lol.

That running around sniveling for extra spare cash must be hungry work.
