AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Wyoming's state primaries
WASHINGTON (AP) — Wyoming has been among the most conservative states in the county, and voters on Tuesday will select the Republican candidates who will advance to November’s general election for federal and state legislative offices. The only contested races in Wyoming’s primary are on the Republican side. While voters in the fall will decide contests for the U.S. Senate, the state’s at-large U.S. House seat, 62 state House and 15 state Senate seats, only 56 Republican primaries across these races include two or more candidates. Most of the state legislative candidates who advance will face no Democratic opponent in November. This unusual circumstance is likely related to how Republicans have dominated the state in recent years.
