In Cheyenne, the Wyoming Supreme Court dismissed an appeal in a case brought by a retired Laramie attorney to keep Donald Trump off the presidential ballot in the Cowboy State this November.
The state Supreme Court decision follows a similar trend at the national level where Democrats—like the Colorado State Attorney General—have attempted to deny voters the right to vote for Trump by keeping the former president off the ballot.
In Cheyenne, Secretary Grey celebrated the court’s unanimous decision.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 this month that Colorado — or any other state — can’t disqualify federal office-holders under the 14th Amendment. The High Court’s ruling in the Colorado case cast legal shade on Newcomb’s case.
The attorney whose appeal was dismissed, Tim Newcomb, has now turned his legal attention from Trump to Grey with a lawsuit. Newcomb is planning to challenge Secretary Grey’s eligibility to hold office.
As with his effort to remove Trump’s name from the ballot, the Gem City attorney plans to use the 14th amendment to have Grey denied the right to office.
Grey shrugged off the Laramie attorney’s effort to have him removed from office through the lawsuit, saying, “Newcomb is a radical leftist, and this is how radical leftists operate now.”
