Wyoming governor requests investigation into activity of Justice Department monitors during primary

Wyoming's attorney general is actively investigating the presence and actions of two U.S. Department of Justice officials during the state's August 18 primary election. The federal monitors were observed monitoring poll workers and observing voters specifically within Wyoming's most populous county.

The inquiry was initiated following a request by Republican Governor Mark Gordon's administration. The investigation focuses on the legality and scope of the federal officials' activities at the polling locations during the primary contest.
