The strongest case for each side
For every race and on Proposition 1, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
Skipping Proposition 1 counts as a no
It needs 50% of everyone who voted in the election, not 50% of the votes cast on the measure. Leave it blank and you have voted against it. We flag that more than once.
No lieutenant governor here
Wyoming doesn't have one, so the Secretary of State is next in line for the governorship. That makes a quiet office matter more than its campaign suggests.
Honest about what isn't there
Two offices drew no opponent and one candidate ran no public campaign. We say so and explain the office rather than inventing a debate.
What's inside
Five statewide offices, the Senate seat, two retention votes, and Proposition 1.
Governor
Eric Barlow, the rancher who beat Trump's own endorsed pick, against Kenneth Casner.
Secretary of State
Robert Short against Bryan McCarty, for the office next in line to the governor.
State Auditor
Kristi Racines has no opponent, so we explain the office and her record instead.
State Treasurer
Curt Meier's third term, after a Freedom Caucus primary challenge and no November opponent.
Superintendent
Steve Harshman against Ana Cordova. It's the school voucher race.
U.S. Senate
Harriet Hageman against James Byrd, for the seat Cynthia Lummis is leaving.
Supreme Court
Two justices face their first retention vote, with the court under rising legislative pressure.
Proposition 1
A 50% homestead property tax exemption, and the threshold most voters won't see coming.

A PDF you download the moment you buy. Read it on your phone or computer, or print it to take to the polls.
Is it partisan?
No. PolitiGeist is independent and makes no endorsement in any race or on Proposition 1. The point is the strongest case for both sides.
What does it cover?
Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, U.S. Senate, both Supreme Court retention questions, and Proposition 1. Wyoming's at-large U.S. House seat is not covered: only one candidate could be documented, so it's left out rather than guessed at. Legislative and local races aren't included.
Do I really need to register early?
No, and that's unusual. Wyoming allows same-day registration and voting from October 6 straight through the polls closing on November 3. The standard deadline is October 19, but you can still register at the polls.
