Judge Orders Wyoming Republican Party To Follow State Law

Judge Orders Wyoming Republican Party To Follow State Law
  • Published June 3, 2026

In a setback to the Wyoming Republican Party’s long mission to gain independence from state law, a Uinta County judge Friday upheld multiple Wyoming election laws, dismissing the state party’s claims that its rights trump them. Uinta County District Court Judge James Kaste ruled that Wyoming laws governing which state and local Republican Party officials can vote for leaders are constitutional, and the state GOP’s rights to dictate its own membership do not trump those laws.
