Some Wyoming Republicans want to limit the secretary of state after Trump's pick wins

Wyoming's likely next secretary of state, a Trump-endorsed Republican who has falsely called the 2020 election fraudulent, is drawing concerns from many of his fellow GOP lawmakers.

Now those legislators are aiming to draft a bill to remove the secretary of state's ability to oversee elections.

State Rep. Chuck Gray is the Republican nominee for secretary of state in Wyoming. He does not have a general election opponent.

Though state officials — including outgoing Secretary of State Ed Buchanan — maintain Wyoming elections are secure, Gray campaigned on concerns that he has about election integrity. During the primary, he told television stations KGWN and KCWY that he wants to ban ballot drop boxes and oversee other reforms.

"We need all paper ballots," he said. "The fact that a few counties have moved off paper ballots, I think is really wrong. And we need hand audits."

Gray also stated during the campaign that he'd get rid of secretary of state employees who didn't share his vision.

Gray's proposals, coupled with his false belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, have convinced a legislative committee to take action.

Republican state Rep. Dan Zwonitzer, who co-chairs the panel that deals with election laws in the state, told committee members he's concerned that Gray could damage how Wyoming runs its elections, and he wants to change things.

Only an idiot or the gullible cannot see that a war is going on in this country, and only one side is fighting in earnest.

Until you can prove falsely, all you are doing is repeating the useful idiot mantra of the left. In other words, you Mr. Beck are a moron.

No, they’re the ones on the committees in the legislature.

IF you actually thought there were no serious issues in the 2020 election AND you didn’t have an animus against MAGA, THEN you would be all for reforms that would shut up the critics by dumping Dominion, requiring bona fide ID, deprecating mail in ballots to where they were in, say 2010, and going to paper based auditable trails.

The fact that they don’t want to respond to the questions stomp on any challenges means they DO have an animus against MAGA. So, we don’t shut up.

...who has falsely called the 2020 election fraudulent...

...coupled with his false belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump...

I'm getting really tired of this gaslighting and editorializing by the MSM being presented as fact. Every article in the MSM refers to "false claims" or something on that order about the 2020 election. The fact is that it's almost certain there was widespread election fraud in the 2020 election and the media's claim that Biden legitimately won the election are nothing more than opinion, not fact. Declaring that claims the election being stolen are false is nothing more than gaslighting given the strong evidence to the contrary.

“””Some Wyoming Republicans want to limit the secretary of state after Trump’s pick wins”””


Here is a list of the ‘some’:

1. Liz Cheney
2. Dick Cheney

Remember this the next time you’re considering voting for a RINO.

The main thing Wyoming needs to do is make the GOP Primary a Closed Primary.

Wyoming needs to stop sending RINOs to state and federal offices.

Open Primaries are a major reason we have far too many RINO’s.

The WY Sec. of State is not involved in changing to a Closed GOP Primary.

“It’s npr, so I’m calling BS.”

Npr also says “...falsely called the 2020 election fraudulent”.

Ridiculous. Shameful journalism.

They meant the person uttered a falsehood but that sentence is a double negative and says the opposite.

The sentence says he falsely called the election fraudulent. Net meaning: NPR’s opinion is that the election was not fraudulant.

To be accurate, the person truly called the election fraudulent, though there’s disagreement whether the election was actually fraudulent.

This statement is a matter of opinion.

It shows NPR has chosen sides.

Another error in the NPR hit piece. The Secretary of State is not a lawmaker. It is an executive position.

NPR, a dangerous organization draining taxpayer dollars to shill for globalists, falsely claimed a Trump-endorsed Republican “falsely called the 2020 election fraudulent...”
