Six Of Seven Election Reform Bills Killed On Monday, Freedom Caucus Not Happy
CHEYENNE — The Wyoming House of Representatives rejected six of seven election reform bills considered on Monday, as a coalition of other Republicans and Democrats denied the supermajority needed to introduce legislation during a budget session.
The measures covered paper ballots, ballot drop boxes, ballot harvesting, random hand-count audits, poll watcher expansion, and independent candidate requirements.
Election integrity has been a cornerstone issue for the Freedom Caucus since it won control of the House after the 2024 election.
But the budget session requires two-thirds approval to introduce non-budget bills, effectively handing veto power to the same bloc of Republicans and Democrats that the caucus has been battling since taking power.
