WyomingMajor parties would weight committee votes by county voter totals
Wyoming’s major parties would weight votes on every state committee action using each member’s county share of registered party voters.
What it does
Each voting member of a major party’s state committee would have a vote weighted by their county’s share of the party’s registered voters at the last congressional election.
