The Primary election has come and gone. Primary elections are organized for the voting public to participate in for the purpose of nominating the parties’ official candidates. Wyoming has a partially-open primary election, which means it “permits voters to cross party lines, but they must either publicly declare their ballot choice or their ballot selection may be regarded as a form of registration with the corresponding party,” according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. According to the Wyoming government website, Lincoln County cast 4,750 ballots. The state total was 139,950 ballots cast.
