Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit, Hands Decisive Victory to Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray on Election Integrity

     CHEYENNE, WY – On July 22nd, United States District Court Judge Scott Skavdahl dismissed a federal lawsuit filed by Equality State Policy Center, through its attorney Marc Elias, against Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray challenging Wyoming House Bill 156, which requires proof of United States citizenship and proof of Wyoming residency to register to vote.

     “I’m extremely pleased with the court’s ruling granting our motion to dismiss this outrageously wrong lawsuit,” Secretary Gray said. “This is a huge win for the people of Wyoming. Proof of citizenship for registering to vote is a common sense, conservative election integrity measure and was the number one priority of our administration’s conservative election integrity reform agenda and a key priority of President Trump. Marc Elias’ outrageously wrong lawsuit has always been an attempt by the radical Left to undermine the common-sense election integrity measures Wyomingites want.”

     “We have successfully defended proof of citizenship for registering to vote and fought and defeated this lawsuit. This decision shows that Marc Elias and the radical left were no match for our vigorous defense. Today marks a huge victory for the people of Wyoming and for the truth.  I will keep defending the truth, and our common sense conservative Wyoming values that Wyoming elected me to defend. I want to thank the Trump Administration for their pivotal statement of interest, the support of the RNC, and also the great work of our outside counsel at Dhillon Law in defending the truth.”
