General election contests came into sharper focus Tuesday after Albany County voted for its local lawmakers and its county, city and law enforcement leaders.
According to the Albany County Clerk’s unofficial results, 9,881 ballots were cast. The vast majority of these – 8,453 ballots, or about 86% of all ballots – were cast by Republicans, leading to higher all-around vote totals in Republican primary contests. Just 1,225 Democratic ballots and 203 non-partisan ballots were cast.
Albany County was one of the only counties in Wyoming to favor Rep. Liz Cheney over her challenger Harriet Hageman – 4,218 to 3,967. Hageman unseated Cheney in the primary Tuesday and will most likely win the general election in November to become Wyoming’s next U.S. House Representative.
