Rod Miller: When you vote in Wyoming, ignore the fear mongering – Cowboy State Daily

Rod Miller: When you vote in Wyoming, ignore the fear mongering – Cowboy State Daily

Despite all the hot air and interference coming from the Trump wing of the Wyoming Republican Party, the election in the Cowboy State is flawless. There have only been three cases – THREE CASES – of verified voter fraud in Wyoming this millennium, and all three were caught and dealt with.

Of the millions of votes cast by Wyoming residents since 2000, only three were fraudulent. Let that sink in.

A very timely resolution from the Natrona County GOP Central Committee reminds us all of this fact. God bless them for the reminder.

But according to Oral Eathorne’s Wyoming GOP Bund and the Park County Men’s Full Gospel Gun & Glee Club, our elections are full of crime. And according to Li’l Chucky Gray, since Colorado and Big Elsewhere seem to have trouble running secure elections, we in Wyoming are similarly threatened.

Nonsense!

The power-crazed zealots in the Wyoming Republican Party are trying to create irrational fear among us about election security and use that fear to convince us to give them more power over us. The facts are against them and they are simply unable to refute those facts.

Election fearmongering is a relatively new and caustic campaign tactic, and one used by Trump when he lost the 2020 election. Sixty or more lawsuits later, his fears have been proven unfounded and his legal team looked like fools.

Unfortunately, that’s not stopping Eathorne, Gray and their minions from trying to use fear as a preemptive weapon in this year’s Wyoming elections. Thanks again to the Natrona County contingent for calling them out on their bullshit.

While we’re at it, we have to give a huge thanks to the Wyoming County Clerks, those eternal saps under Li’l Chucky’s saddle, for being the true grassroots campaigners for election security and for creating a record of safe elections unmatched anywhere else in our republic.

Anyone who disparages our officials for their performance has suffered a mental disconnect from reality.

If Colorado or any other state can’t match Wyoming’s unsurpassed record for election integrity, it won’t blow our noses. Honestly, I don’t care what happens in Colorado. I live and vote in Wyoming where only qualified citizens can vote.

When someone raises a fairy straw man to incite fear among Wyoming residents about our elections, they are barking up the wrong tree and trying to scare the wrong people. Shame on these “scary cat jerks”!

Here at Big Empty, we mind our own business and let others mind theirs. If it’s not in the Cowboy Code, it damn well should be.

Likewise, when some Chicken Little runs around with feathers on fire yelling “It’s happening in Colorado, it can happen here,” we tend to laugh at them and pee on the fire to put it out. As did the Natrona County GOP.

On Tuesday, qualified Wyoming voters will enter the voting booth and take the next step in our Great Experiment, just as our forefathers did. I have no idea what the outcome will be.

But I know as you do that the sanctity of our votes will be protected from any fraud, whether that fraud comes from Oral Eathorne, Li’l Chucky Gray, Colorado, or anywhere else.

That’s just how we do things in Wyoming.
