We don’t know the official voter turnout numbers yet, but what we do know is that voters and polling place volunteers were well turned out — from the election judge in a patriotic fascinator to the kid in “special ops” gear escorting his mom and her ballot.

Here’s a taste of the energy and pizzazz that WyoFile witnessed on Election Day:
