The Wyoming Supreme Court upheld a 2023 law requiring voters to switch party affiliation at least 96 days before a primary, rejecting claims that the deadline unconstitutionally burdens the right to vote.

The court also found no equal protection violation, closing off the legal challenge to the law as written.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Ninety-six days is a specific number for lawmakers to land on, and the court didn't ask why it wasn't ninety or a hundred. A rule can be perfectly legal and still be the kind of thing that only ever seems to trip up voters who show up late to their own convictions.
