Forget Nevada and Florida — the next challenge to New Hampshire's plum spot as first primary state may be coming from, of all places, little Wyoming. The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the Wyoming Republican Central Committee voted unanimously to have the state's Presidential delegates picked on the same day as the New Hampshire Republican primary — a move that could upend the GOP Presidential primary schedule and provoke a huge political fight. More after the jump.

So will Wyoming's primary join New Hampshire's in the front of the lineup?

It depends. Wyoming delegates are chosen through county party conventions, rather than a primary election. So the state GOP could conceivably hold their conventions without needing a new state law to change their date, as you need with a primary. So Wyoming Republicans set about figuring out how to move it to the front.

But they decided against setting a specific date. Here's why: If they did, New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner — who has the power to unilaterally set his state's primary date — could simply move New Hampshire's date up, thus besting Wyoming again.

Their solution: They passed a resolution declaring that the state would choose its delegates on the same day as New Hampshire — whatever date New Hampshire ends up choosing. The wording of the resolution was done so that their state would be "like Velcro" attached to New Hampshire, according to Tom Sansonetti, a former Wyoming GOP chairman who worked for the proposal, who spoke to the Star-Tribune.

While this could ultimately provoke an angry reaction from New Hampshire, which values its influential place in the lineup. New Hampshire officials are for the time being keeping cool on the subject. "Obviously we would want to take a look at how their process works," said Dave Scanlan, New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State, who spoke with Election Central. "At this point it's one thing to say something — it's another thing to do it."

So will it happen, then? Not necessarily. Right now the policy of holding their convention on the same date as the New Hampshire primary is fixed. But if, say, the national GOP leans hard on the state to push its date back again, as seems likely, Wyoming could pass another resolution repealing the first one, and return to their place later in the process. Or the Wyoming GOP could stand its ground and insist that they're going forward with the earlier date — which could provoke a big political fight.

Incidentally, Wyoming Democrats are reportedly not going to follow suit, so this will remain a strictly GOP battle. Stay tuned.
