The overall progressive strategy for Wyoming is bleak. The state has been solidly conservative for decades and this is unlikely to change in the near future. Therefore, the focus should be on harm reduction and ballot measures that are able to effectively limit the control of the Republican supermajority trifecta while federal changes are incoming. As Wyoming is a closed-primary state, a viable strategy is to register as a Republican to vote for the more moderate candidates on the primary ballot. | The overall progressive strategy for Wyoming is bleak.
