Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias was dealt a major defeat on Tuesday when a federal judge tossed his group’s lawsuit challenging Wyoming’s proof of citizenship voting law.
In his 17-page decision, U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl, an Obama appointee, ruled that the Equality State Policy Center lacked Article III standing to challenge HB 156. Enacted earlier this year, the statute mandates that prospective Wyoming voters provide documentary proof of citizenship and residency when registering to vote in the state.
“Under Article III of the Constitution the exercise of judicial power is confined to Cases and Controversies, which requires Plaintiff to establish a personal stake in the outcome — standing,” Skavdahl wrote. “Even accepting Plaintiff’s standing-related allegations as true and construing the record in its favor, Plaintiff has not adequately demonstrated its standing to sue on its own behalf or on behalf of others in this action. Absent Plaintiff’s showing of standing, the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over this lawsuit, and consequently it must be dismissed without prejudice.”
“The Court has not considered nor makes any comment on the merits of Plaintiff’s claims,” he added.
