While the results of the U.S. presidential race remained too close to call on Wednesday, there was zero uncertainty as to the choice of Park County voters.

More local residents participated in the general election than ever before — and they overwhelmingly cast their ballots for Republican President Donald Trump. They favored the president over Democratic challenger Joe Biden by a margin that approached 4:1, with 76.7% of voters supporting Trump.

Trump actually improved on his performance in Park County by about 3 percentage points from 2016 (up from 73.6%), though he didn’t hit the 79% mark that Republican Mitt Romney reached in 2012.

As for Biden, he picked up a greater percentage of the vote than Hillary Clinton did four years ago (20.4% versus 16.8%). However, with just 3,404 votes for the former vice president and 12,802 for Trump, the race remained far from competitive.

The signs of local support for the business mogul-turned-president were obvious leading up to the election, with an above-average number of Trump flags and signs popping up in truck beds and yards, residents hawking Trump gear from pop-up stores, the Park County Republican Party holding “Trump Caravans” and local pastors encouraging their friends and flocks to vote for the candidate.

Wyoming as a whole emerged as Trump’s strongest supporter, with roughly 70% of the state’s voters endorsing his bid for re-election.

“While it may be days or longer until the presidential race is called, and while we steadfastly pray and await an outcome in favor of America’s future, Wyoming held strongly Republican,” the Wyoming Republican Party said in a Wednesday statement, adding, “No matter the outcome on the Federal level, we must encourage those dedicated to governing red. That means encouraging those dedicated to life, those who will fight to cut spending rather than raising taxes. It means getting into the trenches with those who are willing to do the hard work of rolling back regulations and cutting out government bureaucracy.”

While Trump was Park County’s favorite candidate, it was a different Republican running for president who drew more headlines.

Musician and entrepreneur Kanye West, who claims Cody as his home, joined the race for president over the summer, ultimately making it onto the ballot in a dozen states. West registered to vote in Park County shortly after announcing his run in July. And after skipping the primary election, he cast a ballot in Cody on Tuesday.

“God is so good,” West had tweeted at 8 a.m. Tuesday. “Today I am voting for the first time in my life for the President of the United States, and it’s for someone I truly trust ... me.”

Flanked by a crew of photographers, West arrived at the Cody recreation center in the early afternoon to cast the first vote of his life. Since he didn’t qualify for the ballot in Wyoming, West wrote in his name and that of his running mate, fellow Cody resident Michelle Tidball. After voting in the presidential race, West left the rest of the front of his ballot blank, according to images he later posted on Twitter, and there was no indication he voted on the back side of the ballot, either. Ben Jacobs, a journalist who has covered West’s campaign, called the candidate’s decision to only vote for himself “an on-brand move.” Jacobs was just one of many media members who took note of West’s very public display of voting, with the New York Times and NPR among the outlets that wrote stories.

Despite the attention, it didn’t appear that West and Tidball enjoyed much of a boost at the polls. In Park County, only 115 write-in votes were cast (0.69% of the vote), and it’s unclear how many of them were for West.

He also found it tough going in the states where he made it onto the ballot. In Oklahoma, for example, West picked up only about 0.4% of the state’s votes.

“WELP,” he tweeted at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday, as the results came in, “KANYE 2024.”
