US EditionFederal Judge Dismisses Voting Lawsuit Against Secretary of State Chuck Gray
WYOMING, JUL 22 – The lawsuit was dismissed due to lack of legal standing, upholding a law requiring proof of citizenship and residency that officials say protects election integrity.
- On July 22, 2025, U.S. District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl dismissed the lawsuit, citing lack of Article III standing and challenging HB 156’s proof-of-citizenship and residency requirements.
- Amid Wyoming’s election integrity push, House Bill 156 was enacted this year, requiring proof of U.S. citizenship and residency for voter registration, with the law taking effect July 1.
- On jurisdiction grounds, the court dismissed the case because the Equality State Policy Center lacked Article III standing, as none of its members demonstrated direct harm, resulting in no subject matter jurisdiction.
- Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray celebrated Tuesday’s decision calling it a `huge win for the people of Wyoming`, calling the law `common sense` and aligned with President Donald Trump’s priorities.
- Marking a broader trend, the ruling underscores ongoing legal challenges for Marc Elias, supported by the Trump Justice Department, the Republican National Committee and 25 states and Guam; it shows future legal battles may persist.
