Red state elections chief accused of breaking state law to satisfy Trump

Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray has been hit with a misconduct complaint alleging that he violated state elections law to hand over voter data to the Trump administration's Justice Department.

According to the liberal election outlet Democracy Docket, "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."

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