Democrats Face Decline in Rural Wyoming
News summary

In Niobrara County, Wyoming, Democrats are facing significant decline, with only 32 registered among a predominantly Republican population, making up just 2.6% of voters. Becky Blackburn, a paralegal and one of the few remaining Democrats, is affectionately dubbed 'the crazy Democrat' by her neighbors. The Republican stronghold is further solidified by a new law that complicates changing party affiliation, which will be tested in the upcoming primary election. Blackburn remains vocal about her progressive views, including support for LGBTQ+ rights and policing reform, despite the overwhelming conservative sentiment. Her willingness to engage in political discourse, even as she feels outnumbered, has earned her a level of respect in her community. This situation reflects a broader trend in rural America where Democratic representation is dwindling.
