Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee says lawsuit filed by the Wyoming Republican Party "seeks to disrupt" primary election process.

The lawsuit claims the county clerk failed to follow all statutory guidelines during an Aug. 5 voting machine test.

Wyoming 's secretary of state says the assignment of the same number of votes to each candidate “is contrary to” state statute.

The county GOP says the test of the two vote tabulation machines had “no errors”.

Plaintiffs are asking the court to declare that Lee failed to properly test the machines and enter an injunction to stop them from being used in the primary election.

State statute requires all voting machines to be tested at least two weeks before primary election day .

Platte County Clerk Malcolm Ervin said he doubts the county will switch to a hand count this close to the election.
