The DrsC posted their absentee ballots today, exactly 5 weeks ahead of Election Day. As usual, many of the county positions had no Democrat listed as, in our part of WY, they'd have little chance and don't bother to run. The real decision in these positions happened back in August at the primary.
I believe there are Democrats running for all the statewide positions, but somewhere between few and none will be elected. A major advantage of a WY residence is that no one campaigns there in the run-up to November, a Republican sweep is a foregone conclusion. People send out campaign mailings for the Republican primary, then those who win coast to victory in November.
The greatest political irony is that the only WY county, out of 23, which reliably votes Democratic is Teton County, with Jackson as county seat. Former VP Cheney lives there, in a Jackson suburb.
Even the Jackson paper is liberal: runs Doonesbury and opinion columns syndicated from the NY Times. Most WY natives avoid Jackson, as though progressivism were contagious (spoiler: it's not). The DrsC think it's funny, but then we quietly laughed off the utopian leftism of our university colleagues for decades.
If you read COTTonLINE at all regularly, it's highly probably you're a reliable GOP voter. So be sure to vote, as they say in Chicago, "early and often," or at least early. We need to show the people picking on Brett Kavanaugh their actions are political poison.
