As Rep. Liz Cheney faces a tough reelection battle in Wyoming, she's turning to Democrats in her home state to help her chances in the August 16 Republican primary.
Cheney's campaign has mailed instructions to Wyoming Democrats on how to change their party affiliation to vote for the incumbent congresswoman, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
Under Wyoming law, voters must be registered as a Democrat or a Republican in order to vote in that party's primary election.
Voters may also change their party affiliation at the polls on primary day or when they request an absentee ballot.
This call comes as some Democrats in the red state have expressed support for Cheney's defiance of former President Donald Trump and plan to vote for her reelection.
"There'll be Democrats who change their affiliation to vote Republican in the primary, and that's not necessarily an uncommon thing to happen in Wyoming," Joe Barbuto, chair of the Wyoming Democratic Party, told Insider last month.
One survey conducted by Club for Growth, a political action committee that supports Hageman, shows her in the lead. As part of his push to drive out Cheney, Trump and his allies endorsed an effort to change Wyoming laws to prevent voters from switching their party affiliation on the day of the primary election.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
