Democrats switched party registration in Wyoming. It couldn’t save Cheney.

Loading Wait Please...



Thousands of Wyoming Democrats left the party since July, likely spurred by calls to support Rep. Liz Cheney’s uphill reelection campaign. It didn’t make much of a difference.Cheney, the Republican who put herself at odds with former President Donald Trump as vice chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, knew she had a difficult campaign against a Trump-endorsed opponent. So she appealed across the aisle with a simple request: switch party affiliations to vote for her in the primary.But just 13 percent of registered voters in Wyoming are Democrats, so the number of party switchers made little impact. Cheney lost to Harriet Hageman by over 60,000 votes.From Jan. 1, 2022, to the Aug. 16 primary, there was a 20 percent drop in Democratic voters. Republican voters jumped 10 percent, according to the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office.Voting records don’t specify how many individuals are registering for the first time versus switching their party, nor which party they are switching to
