Prior to the election, 17 news organizations considered this a state Romney would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. Romney carried the state with 68.64% to Obama's 27.82%, with LibertarianGary Johnson taking 2.14%.
With 68.64% of the popular vote, Wyoming would prove to be Romney's second strongest state in the 2012 election after neighboring Utah.[1] As of the 2020 election, this is the last time that Albany County failed to back the overall winner of the Electoral College, and presidency.
The Republican caucuses took place between Saturday, February 11 and Wednesday, February 29, 2012. The county conventions were held March 6–10, 2012.[2] The results of the conventions were reported on Saturday, March 10, 2012, the same day on which the Guam, Kansas, and Virgin Islands caucuses were held. After narrowly beating Santorum during the precinct caucuses in February, Romney went on to win the county conventions decisively.[3]
The caucuses took place over a number of days to accommodate the state's geographic size and sparse population, particularly ranchers in the midst of calving season. The entire process of nominating Wyoming's delegates lasts from February until April.[4]
Precinct caucus resultsedit
The precinct caucuses that took place from February 11 to February 29 were the only stage of the Wyoming Republican caucuses in which every registered Wyoming Republican was eligible to participate.[5] No delegates were chosen during this stage.
Due to the state's low population, only one congressional district is allocated. This district is called the At-Large district, because it covers the entire state, and thus is equivalent to the statewide election results.
