Secretary of State calls for retests of voting machines 8 days before Wyoming primary elections

The Associated Press

Wyoming Republican primary voters opted Tuesday to stick with long-serving U.S. Sen. John Barrasso and U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, the first-term congresswoman who ousted Liz Cheney two years ago. Barrasso beat Reid Rasner, a financial adviser from the Casper area, and is now heavily favored to win the general election and a third full term in the Republican-dominated state.  An orthopedic surgeon and former state lawmaker from Casper, Barrasso was first appointed to the Senate in 2007 after the death of Sen. Craig Thomas. He was elected to finish Thomas’ term the following year. Barrasso has risen to prominence as chair of the Senate Republican Conference, the third-ranking GOP position in the chamber, and ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

Ten Sleep, WY

TEN SLEEP—It’s the Fourth of July, and thousands of people dressed in red, white and blue wait along the road in the late morning light for the parade to begin. Locals and visitors have staked out curbside spots using blankets and lawn chairs. Volunteers hand out star-spangled balloons to kiddos eager for candy and firetrucks, while the smell of food trucks parked down the street wafts through the air. A bulldog in a cowboy hat and handkerchief slurps water from a silver bowl outside the town’s saloon. The bartender, stepping outside to get a peek at the crowd, says she’s never seen such a great parade-day turnout.
