GOP governor says he asked Attorney General to look into ‘aggressive’ DOJ election observers
Gov. Mark Gordon said two Justice Department attorneys monitoring Wyoming’s primary election were not properly disclosed to local officials.
- On Wednesday, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon raised concerns about "aggressive" and "irregular" conduct by Department of Justice election monitors who observed the state's primary elections on August 18, 2026.
- The Department of Justice dispatched two attorneys to Laramie County without informing state and local officials beforehand, leaving Gordon and other Wyoming leadership out of the loop.
- Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee called the conduct "a poorly managed exercise," noting monitors asked questions she deemed "outside the scope of federal voting rights laws" regarding poll worker training and election equipment.
- Gordon has asked the Wyoming Attorney General to investigate the visits, asserting the monitors' "behavior seemed to exceed what the authority that Congress had given them was."
- The Justice Department has deployed over 80 monitors across seven states during this primary season, with plans to expand to roughly 1,000 personnel nationwide for November elections.
