Wyoming moving ahead with Trump Jr.-backed election changes

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming lawmakers will continue to discuss proposed election changes endorsed by Donald Trump Jr. for their potential to undermine U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney but not for next year as originally planned.

A legislative committee voted Thursday to delay the proposal for what would be Wyoming’s first primary runoffs from as soon as 2022 to no sooner than 2024. Local election officials told lawmakers they wouldn’t have enough time to make both the election changes and required adjustments to legislative district boundaries next year.

“It’s too big of a lift in a redistricting year,” Mary Lankford with the Wyoming County Clerks Association told the state Senate elections committee.

Local officials also said they worried about cost. The committee wrote the potential $1.5 million cost into the bill before voting 4-1 to advance it to the full Senate.

However, the trait of almost the entire Trump clan is to be petty and vindictive. The Trump family did not get along with the Bushes and now the Cheneys join their gotcha list. They'll carry that grudge for decades.

You said it best, vindictive petty little creep. He holds no elective office, he's just riding on his equally despicable father's rapidly disappearing coat tails. I long for the day - in the not too distant future - when we never have to hear the name "Trump' again - unless it's news about the inevitable indictments.
