Wyoming Town, in Revote for State House Race, Swings Democratic

As noted in a blog post of November 21, the tiny town of Alpine, Wyoming, returned to the polls on November 25 to vote again for State Representative. The election on November 4 had been flawed because the two candidates were virtually tied in the district as a whole, and it was then discovered that eleven voters who don’t live in the district had somehow been allowed to vote in the precinct that encompasses Alpine.

Whereas Democrat Jim Roscoe had only carried Alpine by 40 votes on November 4, on November 25 he carried it by 157 votes. So he is the new State Representative from the 22nd district, displacing incumbent Republican Charles Stough. Turnout in Alpine on November 4 had been approximately 700 voters, but on November 25 it was 483 voters.
