Federal judge dismisses election integrity lawsuit against Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray

A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit against Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, which challenged a state law that required voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship and state residency to vote.

U.S. District Court Judge Scott Skavdahl dismissed the case, which was brought by the Equality State Policy Center, through its attorney, Marc Elias. The lawsuit challenged Wyoming House Bill 156.

Gray celebrated the dismissal in a statement, claiming the state law was "common sense" and was aligned with President Donald Trump's priorities on election integrity reform. 

“I’m extremely pleased with the court’s ruling granting our motion to dismiss this outrageously wrong lawsuit,” 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.

“We have successfully defended proof of citizenship for registering to vote and fought and defeated this lawsuit," he continued. "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."
