Wyoming election changes pushed by Donald Trump Jr. fail

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming lawmakers rejected a measure that would have required candidates to win a majority of votes in primary elections to avoid runoffs — a change endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. in his campaign to undermine Republican U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney.

The state Senate defeated the proposal with a 15-14 vote Wednesday after lawmakers raised concerns over the cost of adding more elections and the burden that doing so would put on voters and local officials.

Trump Jr. called for Cheney’s defeat after she voted to impeach President Donald Trump over the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

A primary runoff for Cheney could have consolidated Republican opposition to her re-election. She didn’t take a position on the proposed election law changes.

All his efforts now will likely involve trying to stay out of prison.

His even summer brother has already been deposed in what is sure to be a criminal matter.

when they were in the same party. That's why Liz lost her first election--they don't take to outsiders at least for a while.

That this vote was 15-14 is pretty sad, frankly-- even for those of us who care little about the self-implosion among R's across the county.
