How Red Is WY?

As snowbirds, the DrsC apply for and file absentee ballots. Ours arrived today and I took a look at mine. I've written WY is a very red state, 22 of 23 counties have Republican majorities registered to vote. The 23rd is barely Democrat-majority, by a couple hundred votes.

So I checked out the ballot for statewide offices, of which there turn out to be 5. For only two of the five did a Democrat bother to put his/her name in the hat: governor and state superintendent of schools. 

The other 3 basically have a Republican running unopposed. You win the Republican primary, you get the job.

Not much suspense about the early November outcome, eh? In the last 30 years we've had exactly one Democrat governor who served two terms. The other 22 years were all GOP. I expect the current Republican Governor Mark Gordon will be reelected.
