Wyoming attorney seeks criminal probe of election chief for handing DOJ voters' data

A retired Wyoming attorney filed an official complaint Monday alleging that Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray (R) may have violated state election law when he handed over Wyoming voters’ personal data to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).

Wyoming is one of 17 states that have complied with DOJ’s demands for full, unredacted state voter rolls, which include addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers.

Enter George Powers, who spent 40 years practicing law in the state. In a complaint to Attorney General Keith Kautz (R), he is alleging that Gray’s decision to hand that data over was illegal.

“When Secretary Gray released the unredacted [voter rolls] to DOJ, he willingly and knowingly released information that was confidential under Wyoming law,” Powers told Cowboy State Daily, a local Wyoming news outlet. “He released these confidential records in response to a mere request.”
