Wyoming has been solid McCain since the beginning of the election months ago. This remained the same on Election Day. McCain overwhelmingly carried all of Wyoming's counties with the exception of Albany and Teton. So, why did Albany and Teton go blue. In the case of Albany county, it went blue largely because it is home of the University of Wyoming in Laramie. The youth vote was generally favorable to Obama throughout the election. As for Teton county, it is home to Jackson Hole and the most central base of Democratic support in the state.
As for exit polling, 67% of men and 63% of women favored McCain to 30% of men and 35% of women for Obama. In breaking down the vote by age, all age groups favored McCain (18-29:61%, 30-44:74%, and 45-64:62%).
