Nightmare Wyoming Ballot Access Bill Introduced

Recently, the Wyoming House Committee that handles election law bills introduced HB 54. It raises the number of signatures for all independent candidates from 2% of the last U.S. House vote to 5% of the last U.S. House vote. It moves the petition deadline from August to early June. It says no one can be an independent candidate unless he or she is a registered independent.

Already, Wyoming has the highest petition percentage of any state for president, when the easier method (independent or new party) is used for the comparison. Wyoming only had three presidential candidates on the ballot in 2024. And even though Wyoming permits write-in votes, it refuses to tally them.

The bill, if enacted, would probably be held unconstitutional. The deadline would be too early. Also it probably would be held unconstitutional that Wyoming was now requiring substantially more signatures for an independent candidate than for an entire new party. The party petition is 2% of the last vote cast for U.S. House and the bill does not affect party petitions.

    CONST AMDT TO ABOLISH SMALLEST POP STATE IN NEXT 49 ELECTIONS – MERGE IT WITH NEAREST SMALL POP STATE ???

  2. If there’s one thing both ruling parties still openly agree on, it’s making ballot access unconstitutionally difficult for minor/third parties and Independents.

  3. Spambot double header: link to woke pedo Wikipedia, and the usual nonsense about “tyrant” Trump. If Trump was a tyrant the AZ-666 would be deprogrammed, its programmer would be executed or imprisoned, and this site would be shut down.
