Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has begun sending Democrats in Wyoming instructions on how to change their party affiliation to vote for her in the state’s primary in August, according to reports Thursday.
Wyoming Democrats have received mail from Cheney’s campaign providing specific information on how to vote for her in the Aug. 16 primary, The New York Times and The Washington Post reported.
“How do I change my party affiliation to register as a Republican so I can vote for Liz?” the mailer reads.
Cheney’s campaign website has also been updated with information about how Democrats can change their party affiliation.
Joseph Barbuto, chairman of the Wyoming Democratic Party, said he received the mailer, and has had Democrats reach out to him on social media to share that they had also received the instructions.
“I haven’t had any Republicans share online or tell me that they received it,” he told The New York Times.
Wyoming law allows voters to change their party affiliation no later than 14 days before the primary as well as at their polling place on primary day or when they request an absentee ballot.
Cheney was censured by the Republican National Committee for serving as one of only two Republicans on the House Jan. 6 committee and has also faced criticism from within the party for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump following the riots at the U.S. Capitol.
In February, Cheney dismissed the idea of courting Democrats in order to compete in the primary.
“That is not something that I have contemplated, that I have organized or that I will organize,” she told The New York Times.
Cheney is set to face off against Harriet Hageman, who has received Trump’s endorsement, in the August contest.
Hageman’s campaign manager Carly Miller, accused Cheney of going back on her word Thursday.
“Liz Cheney told The New York Times that she wouldn’t be encouraging Democrats to raid the Republican primary, but I guess the drive to hold onto power is just too strong for her to keep her word,” she said. “What Cheney doesn’t understand is that Democrats will drop her like a bad habit after she is no longer useful to them on the Jan. 6 committee.”

she is one vendictive evil traitor.
It’s bad enough that the left is filled with communists who desire to destroy this country, but we have a bunch of RINOs who have lied their way into office. Add to that the fact that our side is no longer populated by men of action, and it’s little wonder the country is disintegrating before our eyes.
She needs to be sacked and exposed as the vindictive, socialist, elitist that she is!
How to steal another election,,,just disguise yourself as something you are not. Liz no longer fools anyone.
HOW in gods name, is this even LEGAL!??!?!?!?
That would be like someone working for the red sox, asking someone on the whalers, to help him win the penant.
Isn’t that like voting twice?
You got my vote, Liz—I vote you out.
My Question to Liz Cheney is ” DO YOU FEEL USED by the democrats,” and then abandoned, YOU Should.
This might serve as a lesson to all ” Rino, ” Republicans .
WE hope and PRAY she’s voted out! FLAT on her butt.
“What Cheney doesn’t understand is that Democrats will drop her like a bad habit after she is no longer useful to them on the Jan. 6 committee.”
EVERYONE should drop this disgraceful, hateful, Democrat RINO Liz Cheney!!
Why doesn’t she ask daddy?
Liz, this Let’s go Branndon is especially for you. You deserve it.
She is desperate. She sees the writing on the wall. Hopefully the voters of Wyoming will also see the writing. Adios Cheney thing.
I pray they DO…
I for one saw the writing on the wall when she voted to impeach President Trump and decided that she would not get my vote. I hope when she is shown the door it smacks her rear end or that the sidewalk does the same, both together would be fine.
BYE LIZ!!
“You reap what you sow” seems appropriate here. Time to go, Liz. I don’t think the dems are interested enough in you to try to help you.
I can’t believe she didn’t think Wyoming republicans would be furious with her. I guess she stood her ground in her feelings about Trump but, as they also say, “Elections have consequences.”
