Wyoming Supreme Court Hears Challenge to 1907 Apportionment Act
Senators Patrick Sullivan and John T. Williams filed a suit in the Wyoming Supreme Court to declare the 1907 1901 and 1893 apportionment acts unconstitutional and void and to require a constitutional apportionment before the next session. If successful the governor may be forced to call a special session to enact a valid apportionment, with Natrona Converse and others claiming underrepresentation. The suit argues existing ratios deprive Natrona and Converse counties of rightful seats and seeks to ensure equal representation for all counties.
