The unofficial Uinta County primary votes have been counted, and detailed results are available at uintacounty.com.
In the Republican race for U.S. Representative, Harriet Hageman defeated incumbent Liz Cheney with a vote of 4,030-1,156. Hageman received more than twice as many votes statewide as Cheney. The Trump-endorsed challenger tallied 113,025 votes to Cheney's 49,316, thousands of which presumably came from Democrats who switched parties in an attempt to fend off the far-right Hageman.
Incumbent Gov. Mark Gordon won his primary and won easily in Uinta County with 3,280 votes, followed by Brent Bien with 1,399.
Republican County Commissioners Eric South and Mark Anderson won their primary elections, with 2,033 and 2,004 votes respectively. Joe Hickey came in third in the Republican category, with 1,978 votes. Andy Kopp defeated incumbent Sheriff Doug Matthews, at 3,094-2,330 votes.
Lynnette GreyBull won the Uinta County Democratic primary election for U.S. Representative with 109 votes, followed by Meghan Jensen at 56 votes. The Democratic gubernatorial primary went to Theresa Livingston, who won 116 votes, while her competitor, Rex Wilde, received 78 votes.
