A ban on ballot drop boxes appears to still be slowly moving forward in the Wyoming Legislature.
Although they didn’t take a vote on it on Friday, multiple members of the Senate Corporations, Elections and Political Subdivisions Committee told Cowboy State Daily they plan to support a ban on ballot drop boxes in Wyoming but plan to make significant changes to House Bill 131 as written.
Specifically, two of the swing votes on the committee, state Sen. Brian Boner, R-Douglas, and Sen. Dan Dockstader, R-Afton, both told Cowboy State Daily they plan to support the bill when it’s heard again next Wednesday, but not before significant changes are made to it.
Boner said he wants to try and find a solution that alleviates both concerns about the security of the boxes and allows people who work long work hours like oilfield workers to still have an easy way to cast their vote.
“We’re looking to amend the bill to alleviate some of the concerns of the committee,” he said.
Dockstader said he would support the bill “with amendments.” During testimony, one change he suggested would be to restrict the boxes to being located inside courthouses.
This would defeat one of the core purposes of having the boxes, which are designed to provide voters a way to cast their ballot outside the time that the courthouses are open.

Replaced by a mail slot allowing the ballots to go directly into the local Dem Party sites.
Since ballot dropboxes have no chain-of-custody records, they should never have been allowed in the first place.

Do you realize how ignorant and Knee Jerk that sounds?
Try reading the story.
I am ignorant and specialize knee jerk reactions.
Thanks for pointing it out to me, though.
Best.
You don’t seem to understand Wyoming politics, either. That state is about as Red as they come. Ask Liz Cheney how they kicked her sorry butt big time..
I will look forward to your help in curing some of my ignorance. A big job.
You’ll make it.

We need a nation wide ban.
