Wyoming granted women the right to vote in 1869, prior to joining the Union, and was the first place in America to do so.

It has consistently voted for Republican candidates in recent decades and is considered a reliably red state.

When Wyoming participated in its first presidential election in 1892, Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison won the state with 50.52% of the vote.

Harrison's Democratic opponent, Grover Cleveland, who went on to win the election, did not even appear on the ballot in Wyoming.

The Democrats' best showing in the state was in the 1936 presidential election, when President Franklin Roosevelt won a decisive victory nationwide.
