Secretary of State Chuck Gray has launched an investigation into ActBlue Wyoming, a political action committee, following allegations of money laundering and identity theft against the Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue. The accusations include the use of stolen identities to conceal illegal donations, potentially from foreign actors. As Wyoming’s chief election officer, Gray is responsible for ensuring the integrity of the state’s elections and will review ActBlue Wyoming’s statements of contributions and expenditures for accuracy. Filing a false statement is a violation of the Wyoming Election Code and can result in legal action.
Gray expressed concern over the allegations and emphasized the need for political action committees to follow state laws. He urged Wyoming citizens who believe their identity was stolen or that a donation was falsely reported using their name to report it to the Secretary of State’s Office.
ActBlue has come under scrutiny nationwide for alleged fraudulent activities, prompting Secretary Gray to take action in Wyoming. The investigation aims to ensure that contributions to political action committees in the state comply with the law. Wyoming residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to the Secretary of State’s Office. As the investigation continues, Secretary Gray remains committed to upholding the integrity of Wyoming’s elections.
