The Wyoming Republican Party urges Governor Mark Gordon and Attorney General Bridget Hill to join the lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against those battleground states that made numerous unlawful changes to their election and voting procedures prior to November 3rd.

As stated in this morning’s press release from AG Paxton’s office,
“The four states exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election. … “ The battleground states flooded their people with unlawful ballot applications and ballots while ignoring statutory requirements as to how they were received, evaluated and counted.

‘Trust in the integrity of our election processes is sacrosanct and binds our citizenry and the States in this Union together.

Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin destroyed that trust and compromised the security and integrity of the 2020 election.

The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution.

By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,’ said Attorney General Paxton. ‘

Their failure to abide by the rule of law casts a dark shadow of doubt over the outcome of the entire election. We now ask that the Supreme Court step in to correct this egregious error.’

In short, the overwhelming body of evidence shows that these rogue states unlawfully changed election laws, thereby opening up opportunities for election fraud.

This is not a Donald Trump issue, this issue impacts all American states. Immediate action must be taken by all Governors, including the Gordon administration, to address this existential threat to the future of our Republic.

Texas shouldn’t be standing alone; too much is at stake. Governor Gordon values the Constitution. We stand with him and ask that he join forces with Governors and Attorneys General across the nation to defend the Constitution.
