Republican Review – May 2021 Fremont County May 2021 REPUBLICAN REVIEW The Stolen Election by Vern Tromble The Presidential Campaign of 2020 was underscored by the Corona-Virus pandemic. Joe Biden spent much of the campaign in the basement of his home in Wilmington, Delaware. Meanwhile, Republican Donald Trump campaigned vigorously to packed audiences. It appeared that Biden had no chance of winning. However, in the second debate with Donald Trump, Biden strangely admitted, “We have put together the most extensive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Hilary Clinton also knew what was going on. She advised Biden to never concede. “Delay and even- tually the majority of votes will swing in your favor.” Biden knew that he could win. He was told to minimize campaigning. “We don’t need you; we’ve got it. This election is done,” ordered Democrat operatives and members of the ‘deep state’. FRAUDS Why were AND they IRREGULARITIES so confident? State legislatures had been warned for years that mail-in voting was highly susceptible to fraud, and only State legislatures can set election laws. Using the Corona-Virus pandemic as a pretext, Democrat - andoperatives got away filed with over it. 600 lawsuits around the nation in order to intimidate state legislatures into autho rizing mail-in voting. In addition, judges and election officials illegally overruled some state legislatures President Trump was easily winning in all of the key states at 10:00 PM EST on election night, Tues- day, November 3, 2020. Then things began to change. Mail-in ballots, some legal and others illegal, began to arrive in bulk. At 3:42 AM on the morning of Wednesday, November 4, a massive dump of mail-in votes in Wisconsin - heavily favoring Joe Biden were counted. Donald Trump suddenly went favoring Joe Biden, occurred in Michigan. Few down ballot elections were marked. The only candidate receivingfrom leading votes by was a lot Joe to losingBiden. by a little.

If candidates need to walk a precinct, we need to have developed the rela- tionships with our precincts so that we can take the candidate door to door. Politics needs to be about community. We need to know our community so that we can assist those in our com- munity, both those who are elected, and those they represent, with connecting ideas and actions. In the words of Sam Adams, “no people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved”. Ginger Bennett, Chairman Fremont County Republican Party Fremont County Lincoln Day Dinner This year’s Fremont County Lincoln Day Dinner was held at Holiday Inn in Riverton on May 15.

  • Wyoming State Government Directory
    Pictured left to right: State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow, State Auditor Cynthia Cloud, Governor Matt Mead, Secretary of State Ed Murray and State Treasurer Mark Gordon As someone with a lifelong interest in old maps, especially maps of Wyoming and the American West, I am delighted to share a historic map of Wyoming on the cover of this year’s Directory. This map represents a point in time, at the beginning of Wyoming’s statehood, when the interior boundaries that shape Wyoming as we know it today were still a work in progress. I love examining old maps because they often tell the story of our human experience; each map being a snapshot of the knowledge or perceptions that we possessed at the time. Maps can also demonstrate advances in our industry and technology, trace the ebb and flow of our communities, and even reflect some of our social values. No chapter in Wyoming’s history has been faceless. All of our growth and progress has been through the combined efforts of Wyoming’s citizens and leaders, working together to address the needs of the moment. Wyoming’s past explorers drew new maps as their knowledge increased or as circumstances changed, and left behind progressively more accurate guides for us to follow. Now, our current State Elected Officials and our citizens are venturing forward to meet Wyoming’s future – armed with the knowledge of our past and present – and committed to leaving an even better “map” for future generations. 2016-2017 Wyoming State Government Directory Front Cover: 1888 Rand McNally Map of Wyoming Inside Cover Written By: Honorable Ed Murray Jessica Cockrell Cover’s Graphic Design By: Gabriel Kaufhold Secretary of State’s Office The directory is available via the internet from: Website: sos.wyo.gov Wyoming Secretary of State Phone (307) 777-7378 Email: [email protected] Table of Contents How to Use This Directory ..............................................................................................
