Wyoming Bill To Open Primaries To All Voters Dies

[TexasTowelie]

A measure that would have ended single-party primary elections in Wyoming was rejected by House members on Friday.

House Bill 152, which would have turned primary elections into “qualifying events” for general elections, was defeated on a vote of 14-46.

“This makes it so (a primary election) becomes a qualifying event,” said Rep. Mike Yin, D-Jackson, the bill’s main sponsor. “Everyone gets to choose at the qualifying event and then the top two would move into the top spaces in the general election.”

Yin said he proposed the measure because too often, only one person is on the general election ballot for office and that person has been chosen through one party’s primary election.

1. I had hoped Wyoming would reject this. I honestly have to think most see through the manipulation

from outsiders and resent it. Not just on this. They likewise rejected a CRT-related bill. Now, I can only hope they reject the Trump attempt to close down open party primaries (same-day change in party /registration eligibility) that allows cross-over voting.

But, still, this makes me wonder if any of the Trumpster contenders will do well there.
