The scenario that occurred with Wyoming could only happen with Wyoming because of the delegates allocated for them based on their general election votes. Every state with one congressional district except for Wyoming has more than 8 delegates. There are 7 states and DC that have only one congressional district. The election result that occurred in Wyoming would not had resulted in a tie in the other states with just one congressional district. Keep in mind that the rules are the same in each state when doing the calculation.

Because Wyoming is a red state meaning that the average votes for Kerry in 2004, Obama in 2008 and 2012 were the lowest of all states and resulted in them receiving only 14 total delegates.
Wyoming had a combined total of 222,930 votes compared to Alaska with 357,259 for the 3 elections.
