Wyoming PBS Stations Include All Ballot-Listed Candidates in U.S. Senate, U.S. House Debates

The Wyoming Public Broadcasting Stations will host the only Wyoming broadcast debates this year for both U.S. Senate and U.S. House. The station invited all ballot-listed candidates. See here. In the U.S. Senate race, three parties have nominees (Republican, Democratic, Country). In the U.S. House race, all five parties on the ballot have nominees (Republican, Democratic, Libertarian, Constitution, and Country).

Wyoming parties must poll at least 2% for U.S. House in order to remain ballot-qualified. In midterm years, several statewide offices count toward party retention, but in presidential years, only the U.S. House race counts. The Libertarian Party has met the vote test in all elections starting in 1994, but this is the first time since 2000 in which any other minor parties have been on the ballot in Wyoming.
