Data: Liz Cheney’s Plan to Win GOP Primary with Democrat Votes Is FailingWendell Husebø 9 Aug 2022
Republican voter registration numbers in Wyoming have grown by a small margin as Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) invited Democrats to change parties to vote in the open Republican primary on August 16, while Democrat voter registration numbers have shrunk. The numbers suggest a slight migration of Democrats to Cheney’s cause, but not nearly at the scale needed for her to overcome the margin by which she currently trails in the primary.
According to the data, registered Republicans in Wyoming have increased by 11,495 from January to August this year. The number of registered Democrats, on the other hand, has shrunk by 6,069 in the same period. Unaffiliated voters have also shrunk by 1,575. In total, the state has gained 3,816 more registered since January. These statistics come from the Wyoming Secretary of State’s regular reports on the numbers of registered voters in the state.
Technically, Wyoming law states that voters must be affiliated with a particular party to vote in that party’s primary election–but voters can change their party registration on primary Election Day or any time leading up to it. In other words, it is essentially an open primary. This means that a few thousand Democrat and unaffiliated voters may have changed party affiliations to vote for Cheney, as she is openly encouraging, but Wyoming Democrat Party chairman Joseph Barbuto said he believes the migration will not be nearly effective enough to save her.
