A new law excludes voters. A proposed revision would create further inequity
Wyoming is unique: it is the only state with a constitution that protects the right to political equality. Laws that create special classes of voters and candidates are unconstitutional, yet legislators are considering voting restrictions that violate what’s laid out in Article 1, Section 3.
Last week, the interim Joint Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee spent almost a full day discussing electoral changes, nearly double the time allocated on the agenda. The Equality State Policy Center paid close attention to the testimony, discussion and background noise surrounding the most important responsibility of a Wyoming citizen: the right to vote.
