Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias filed a lawsuit Friday challenging a new Wyoming law that makes it harder for noncitizens to register to vote.
Gov. Mark Gordon, R-Wyo., allowed House Bill 156 to become law on March 21 without his signature. The legislation requires prospective registrants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote. Proof includes a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers, among other options. The legislation, which passed the state House 51 to eight and the state Senate by 26 to four, is slated to go into effect on July 1, 2025.
But Elias, alongside the Equality State Policy Center and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit to overturn the will of the state, alleging the legislation violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
“When HB 156 becomes effective, it will impose new, burdensome, and entirely unnecessary requirements that will make it harder for eligible citizens to vote,” the suit claims. “The result will be the exclusion and disenfranchisement of citizens.”
The suit claims, in part, that “Women — as well as Hispanic, young, and low-income voters — are less likely to have acceptable documentation and, in many cases, face greater hurdles to obtaining it.” Women, the suit contends, “are more likely than men to be turned away when they go to register as a result of HB 156,” because of name changes resulting from marriage.
But this claim has been peddled — and disproven — before....SNIP

And the total Hispanic population of Wyoming? Prolly more Native Americans than Hispanics.
Does the plaintiff have Wyoming residence?
Does the organization which he represents have Wyoming Residence?
Is there evidence that Wyoming has violated existing Civil Rights laws by demanding eligibility to vote based upon Sex, Race, or Color, or other factors?
If not, then they don’t have Standing.
Finally, Was the motion brought to a Federal Court for the aforementioned, because otherwise it’s covered under the Constitution that the Legislation of the State has the right, and it’s frivolous.
Another traitor and no firing squad in sight.
