In rural America, Democrats are struggling to survive, with some counties having fewer than 3% of registered voters identifying as Democrats. In Niobrara County, Wyoming, the least-populated county in the least-populated state, only 32 Democrats remain, with one, Becky Blackburn, being known as 'the crazy Democrat'. The county has passed a law making it difficult to change party affiliation, and many Democrats are switching to Republican to vote in primaries and then changing back, feeling 'skeevy and dirty'. The struggle is not unique to Wyoming, with Democrats facing challenges across rural America, where the party has been losing ground for years.
