Motion51 does not hold the Wyoming voter file, but Wyoming Statute Sec. 22-2-113(a) is a clean statutory green light: the Secretary of State furnishes registry lists to any candidate for political office and that candidate's campaign committee, for political purposes only, and the lists may be reproduced for political purposes. Request your county's list from the Secretary of State or your County Clerk, bring it here, and we'll load it in, cut turf, and send volunteers out with a phone instead of a clipboard. The free tier costs nothing to try.
