Secretary of State Chuck Gray’s proposed changes to the voter registration process exceed the scope of his office’s authority, two nonpartisan voter advocacy groups and the Wyoming Democratic Party say.
The organizations are also concerned about the timing of the proposed rule changes ahead of the 2024 election and the risk that the changes will disenfranchise rightful voters. All three groups have formally requested a public hearing on the matter.

CHEYENNE - With winter upon us and big game animals moving to lower elevations, they may soon descend into our towns and backyards.

CODY — The Pitchfork Ranch, established in the 1880’s by Otto Frank Von Lichtenstein, has recently gone up for sale with a price tag of $67 million as current owners, Dr. Lenox and Dr. Fran Baker, plan to retire and enjoy more time with family.
This is only the third time it has gone up for sale throughout the ranch’s entire history.
The ranch was passed from Otto Frank, through six generations of the Phelps/Belden family, and finally to the Bakers – not just surviving, but building upon itself over the past century.
