Wyoming Elections Belong to Wyoming Voters

Two DOJ attorneys showed up at Laramie County polling places on primary day, asked to examine tabulators, and tried to interview voters. Governor Gordon called it 'a bit aggressive' and 'irregular.' It follows a 2025 decision by Secretary of State Chuck Gray to hand the DOJ Wyoming's full voter list, including driver's-license and partial Social Security numbers. Wyoming voters deserve the complete facts on both.

Jim Allington Drove 73 Miles to the Mine for 30 Years. Then Peabody Took It Back.

Jim Allington drove seventy-three miles to the mine at three in the morning for thirty years. "I never missed a day." He retired expecting a Retiree Medical Allowance worth about $260,000. This summer Peabody sent a letter ending the program — with roughly $240,000 of his still unused. In 1981, a union organizer named Bob Wright warned Powder River Basin miners in the Washington Post: "A handbook is not the same thing as a binding contract. What the company gives you in one handbook, it can take away in another." He lost that argument. Forty-five years later, he was right. Peabody called the program "not aligned with market-competitive practices." The Mining Association called it outside its wheelhouse. Our congressional delegation didn't answer a reporter's questions. And the retirees didn't fight, because the fine print said the company could do it. Wyoming had no contract, and no channel. I'm building the channel.
