As primary election season begins to wrap up, only Alaska and Wyoming hold elections today. Alaskans, in the first test of their new open primary system, will decide whether to renominate Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski as well as whether to choose former Gov. Sarah Palin to be the next representative for the state's only seat in the House of Representatives.
Wyoming also has only a single House seat, but it looms much larger on the national stage. Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a Republican stalwart since she was first elected in 2016, faces near-certain defeat in her party's primary against Harriet Hageman, an attorney and former supporter of Cheney. The contest is likely to cause mixed feelings among libertarians.
