Secretary Gray Announces Investigation into PAC

The Wyoming Secretary of State is investigating a Democratic Political Action Committee. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Secretary of State Chuck Gray announced an investigation into ActBlue Wyoming, a political action committee registered with the Secretary of State’s Office. According to information from the SOS’s Office, ActBlue has been accused of engaging in identity theft as a means to conceal illegal donations, such as donations from foreign actors. Gray said ActBlue Wyoming is required to file statements of contributions and expenditures with the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office under the penalty of perjury. Filing a false statement is a violation of the Wyoming Election Code. Gray added that he is legally empowered to refer suspected violations of the Election Code to the appropriate prosecuting authority.

Any Wyoming citizen who has reason to believe a political action committee stole their identity or falsely reported a donation using their name, is encouraged to report it to the Wyoming Secretary of State’s Office.
