A Resolution of Concerned Citizens of Sheridan County, Wyoming

Dear Naomi, 

We very much appreciate you being here in our Wyoming State Capital with State Senators Tim Salazar and Bo Biteman.   Your elections template will provide Wyoming Legislators with sensible legislation that will restore election integrity to our State.   You will see in our Title 22 statutes that we are currently vulnerable in numerous ways.

Below is a resolution that might allow us to do hand counts in our respective Counties for the primary and general this year. It has been taken up by other counties in the State, as well.   There is much resistance, but we forge ahead collecting loads of signatures from volunteers who wish to hand-count ballots.   We will present our long list of volunteers to our Clerks and Commissioners.

It will be in the next legislative session where your legislation can act as a guide.   We’ll be pushing hard to see much of Title 22 completely reformed. 

You will find that we have an excellent Secretary of State in our Chuck Gray.   He is very supportive of Wyoming’s citizenry.   He takes a lot of slings and arrows on our behalf.

Many thanks to you, Naomi.

Elena C.

A RESOLUTION OF CONCERNED CITIZENS OF SHERIDAN COUNTY, WYOMING, TO ENSURE ACCURACY, INTEGRITY, AND TRANSPARENCY OF ELECTIONS FOR ALL PROPERLY REGISTERED WYOMING VOTERS OF ALL PARTY AFFILIATIONS. (submitted by Elena Campbell)

WHEREAS, Article 6, Section 13 of the Wyoming Constitution states, “The legislature shall pass laws to secure the purity of elections, and guard against abuses of the elective franchise.”;

WHEREAS, 22-14-114 (a) prohibits hand counting to verify tabulator results by stating that “For ballots designed to be counted by machine, each individual vote shall be determined by the voting equipment and shall not be determined subjectively by human tabulation…” However, neither the voting public nor County Clerks are privy to the computer code that directs the tabulating systems.  (Section 22-11-103 (d) (v).);  

WHEREAS, 22-14-114 and 22-11-103 (d) (v) conflict with purity and full transparency of elections that the voting public expects and demands, because without hand count verification, the accuracy of machine tabulation cannot be certain.  Half of the injunction, “trust but verify”, is precluded.  One cannot know if legal or illegal votes were counted or not counted.  Hand counting has a reliable history, is inexpensive, non-partisan, secure, accurate, transparent, and an efficient method for determining the will of the people in their elections; and

WHEREAS, 22-10-102 states, “The Board of County Commissioners may adopt for use in any precinct in the county a type of voting machine meeting the standards specified in W.S 22-10-101.”  It follows, therefore, that county commissioners may choose to use no machines;   Now therefore be it

RESOLVED, that our elected representatives shall take corrective actions to ensure purity and transparency of our elections as specified in the Wyoming Constitution and Wyoming Statutes:

1. For the 2024 primary and general elections, our elected county commissioners shall facilitate hand counting to accurately and transparently determine the will of the electorate. Paper ballots contain no personally identifiable information and are critical source documents to determine the intent of the electorate.
2. Utmost care shall be taken to ensure that “all legally qualified electors may register and vote, that those who are not qualified shall not vote” by providing provisional ballots to those who request to register on the day of election, and which provisional ballots shall be separated and shall not be counted until the clerk determines eligibility for that individual elector.
3. Our elected representatives shall correct language in the Wyoming Statutes to conform to the Wyoming Constitution which is written to “secure purity of elections and guard against abuses of the elective franchise”, by permitting hand counts, even if tabulators are used, to reconcile the tabulators’ results with the source documents.
