Voters removed from rolls after being ID’d as non-citizens

CHEYENNE (WNE) — Three registered voters in Carbon, Lincoln and Teton counties have now been removed from Wyoming’s statewide voter registration system as identified non-citizens.

The measure was taken in response to data provided by the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office using the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services SAVE System.

Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray previously sent notice to county clerks in these counties notifying them of three active voter records matching individuals identified by the U.S. Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services as non-U.S. citizens. 

Gray also referred them to law enforcement for further action, triggering three open investigations. 

This collaboration with USCIS is part of ongoing efforts to enhance voter list maintenance procedures to ensure only eligible Wyoming citizens are registered to vote in Wyoming.

“Ensuring that only United States citizens and only Wyoming residents are registered to vote in Wyoming has been a key priority of our administration,” Gray said in a news release. “The voter list maintenance that we have been conducting is extremely important for election integrity. I will continue to monitor our office’s referrals to law enforcement and the opened criminal investigations regarding potential voter fraud.
