In 2023, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray oversaw a purge of voter rolls that removed over 80,000 names. If anyone was purged by mistake, they’ll now have to meet Wyoming’s more restrictive requirements to reregister.
Wyoming Is Now Requiring Would-be Voters to Document Their Citizenship
The rules were pushed by Wyoming’s ultraconservative secretary of state despite no pattern of noncitizen voting. A lawsuit warns it risks tripping up eligible citizens who wish to register.

I had missed the SCOTUSblog post about the “interim docket blog”; wanted to scream but it’s late; texted @jaywillis.net instead; & he let me know that, oh, yes, this has been discussed.
I truly don’t understand how you just accede to Kavanaugh’s self-serving make-believe name for the shadow docket.

Even for me, this is pretty in the weeds, but the shift in tone in SCOTUSblog's coverage since Sarah Isgur and The Dispatch took over—more deferential to the Court, more reverential of the justices as celebrities, more credulous and stenographic across the board—has been...notable
Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?
