Today is primary election day across Fremont County and Wyoming. Polls will be open until 7 tonight. A reminder that this is a closed primary, which means that you have to claim party affiliation in order to participate. Voters who have not yet registered will be able to do so at the polls.
Of the local races, the battle for two open seats on the Fremont County Commission appears to be generating the most interest. There are 7 Republican and 3 Democratic candidates for voters to choose from. The top 2 vote-getters from each party will advance to the general election.
Statewide - Wyoming primary voters have the chance to set the stage for a rare general election that features races for each of the state's congressional seats.
Republicans and Democrats both have at least one contested congressional primary on the ballot today. A host of seats in the Republican-dominated Wyoming Legislature are also up for grabs.
The candidates were out and about Monday, going door to door and making phone calls.
On the Democratic side, Nick Carter and Keith Goodenough are vying to represent their party in the general election against incumbent Republican Sen. John Barrasso.
The two Democrats competing to challenge incumbent Republican Sen. Mike Enzi are Chris Rothfuss and Al Hamburg.
On the Republican side, Mark Gordon, Michael Holland, Cynthia Lummis and Bill Winney are vying for the chance to represent the GOP in the U.S. House race.
