But an honest politician is one who is bought that stays bought .... Ms. Sinema will be ex-Senator Sinema after the next 2024 primary season.
In Wyoming, do Democrats actually have to "change their party affiliation" to vote for Liz, or is it more of a situation like in Georgia and here in South Carolina, where it's an open primary? When they walk in to vote, they are asked which primary they want to vote in, the R or D? Just curious. (I hope it's easy to switch. Liz needs support.)
You actually have to change your party affiliation in Wyoming. I checked the numbers yesterday, and the number of Democrats registered in the state has gone down about 7,000 while the number of registered Republicans has gone up over 10,000. There are only about 35,000 registered Democrats in the entire state, and about the same number of registered independents.
