U.S. District Court Strikes Down WY’s No Politics Zone Around Polling Places


Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballor Access News for this Post.

On July 22nd, U.S. District Court Judge, Nancy D. Freudenthal, an Obama Appointee, struck down Wyoming’s 300-foot “No Politics” Zone around Polling places on Election Day.

The Case is Frank v Buchanan, 2:20cv-138, and the Order is 16-pages.

One of the Plaintiffs wanted to Circulate Petitions at the Polling Place, but 300 feet is such a Long distance, the Law made that almost Impossible.

The Order also Strikes Down the Ban on Large Bumper Stickers on Cars that are Parked near the Polling Place.

The U.S. Supreme Court, upheld a 100-foot Zone in 1992.

But generally when States require Bigger Zones, Courts Strike them Down.
