Two DOJ Attorneys Watched Cheyenne's Primary, Wyoming's Governor Called It Shocking

Gordon raised the matter nine days later, at Wyoming's August 27 canvassing meeting, and referred it to the state attorney general.

  • DOJ's Civil Rights Division sent the two attorneys to Laramie County for the August 18 primary.
  • The same DOJ release also detailed federal monitors sent to Florida's primary that day.
  • Gordon separately called the deployment 'aggressive,' a harsher word than his public 'shocked.'

Why it matters: A governor's shock at being watched says more about the count than about the watchers.
