On May 21, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray addressed an interim meeting of the Joint Corporations, Elections & Political Subdivisons Committee. He again wants the legislature to increase the independent candidate petition from 2% of the last U.S. House vote, to 3% for statewide races and 5% for district races. See this story. Wyoming already has the nation’s highest percentage for independent presidential candidates. Although Indiana also has a 2% requirement, Indiana’s law fixes the 2% denominator on a race that is only up in midterm years, when the turnout is lower. Wyoming’s requirement has the “see-saw” effect, in which the requirement is effectively much higher in midterm years, because it is based on the high-turnout presidential years.
