Results
On Jan. 5, 2008 Wyoming Republicans held county conventions in all 23 counties.  Approximately 3,000 people participated, electing 12 delegates and 12 alternates to the national convention.  Eight of those delegates were committed to Mitt Romney, three to Fred Thompson, and one to Duncan Hunter.  Wyoming is a non-binding state so these delegates are free to vote for whoever they choose and can change their votes at any time.  The remaining delegates will be elected at the State Convention on May 30, 2008. (reactions: Romney, WYGOP)

Setting the Date
On Aug. 25, 2007 at their state central committee meeting Wyoming Republicans voted to hold county conventions on Jan. 5, 2008, putting them in the first-in-the nation position, but risking penalties from the Republican National Committee. [On Oct. 22, 2007 the RNC Executive Committee votes to penalize New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan and Wyoming by half their delegates to the the Republican National Convention for starting their delegate selection in advance of Feb. 5, 2008.  This move must still be approved by full RNC].  Earlier in the year they had discussed holding the party's 2008 county conventions on "the same date as the New Hampshire Republican Primary, whenever that may be."  [Feb. 3, 2007 letter]. 

Total Ballots Cast: 221,685.

*The state canvass does not include the Nader write in votes.  The state canvassing board did not canvass those votes because they did not affect the outcome of the race.  However, Nader requested that his write-in votes be counted according to W.S. 22-16-103(b).
