Wyoming court upholds election integrity laws for 2026 vote
Wyoming District Court Judge Nathaniel Hibben has ruled in favor of Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, upholding two key election integrity laws. The decision, which can be appealed, ensures these rules will stand for the 2026 election cycle.
The ruling, granted as a summary judgment, supports Wyoming's 'sore loser' law. This legislation prevents unsuccessful primary candidates from running as independents in the 2026 election. Judge Hibben also confirmed the ban on crossover voting, which stops voters from participating in more than one party's primary in the 2026 election.
Secretary Chuck Gray welcomed the decision, describing it as a 'huge win' for the integrity of Wyoming's 2026 elections. The ruling acknowledges the effectiveness of these laws in maintaining the fairness and transparency of the 2026 electoral process.
