| 1 | HB0103 |
The Wyoming House moved to prevent Democrats from changing their party registration ahead of any Wyoming Primary elections. Now the bill heads for the Senate for final passage.
Democrats use every cheap trick to steal elections, including crossover voting.
Even the wicked witch of the west, former Liz Cheney, encouraged Democrats to crossover vote to defeat Harriet Hageman from unseating the disgraced Liz Cheney.
The then Rep. Liz Cheney was soundly defeated in the 2022 GOP Primary in the State of Wyoming.
Even the Republican Mark Gordon is guilty of this same act when he defeated Foster Friess. Gordon urged the state of Wyoming Democrat voters to crossover and vote for him.
If you read the above House 103 bill, you will see that it forever bans Democrats from interfering in GOP primaries, and the House votes were 51 in favor and only nine against the anti-crossover bill.
