Wyoming Unlikely to Make Major Changes in its Primary System in Time for 2022

Many Republican Party officials in Wyoming have been working to change the primary system in time for the 2022 election, because they are opposed to the re-election of Liz Cheney (the state’s only U.S. House member). They are afraid that she will be renominated in the Republican primary in 2022 because many pro-Trump Republican candidates will split the anti-Cheney vote.

On September 2, the committee that hears election law bills, the Joint Corporation, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee, heard testimony on changes. They heard from proponents of a top-two system, ranked choice voting, and traditional two-round primary runoffs. According to this story, none of these ideas is likely to pass in time for the 2022 primary. Thanks to FairVote for the link.
