Intimidation of election officials-doxing.
HB 139 would have created a new criminal offense in Wyoming for knowingly making personal information about election officials or their immediate family available online when that information poses an imminent and serious threat to their safety. The bill defined "personal information" to include home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, photos, and details about a person's home or vehicle. This provision specifically targeted doxing (publicly sharing private details to intimidate) as a form of election-related intimidation. The law was intended to take effect on July 1, 2023, but the bill died in committee and did not become law.
