Democrats are dwindling in Wyoming. A primary election law further reduces their influence
In some far reaches of rural America, Democrats are flirting with extinction. In Niobrara County, Wyoming, the least-populated county in the least-populated state, only 32 are left. (AP video by Thomas Peipert) LUSK, Wyo. (AP) — In some far reaches of rural America, Democrats are flirting with extinction.

But Niobrara County’s Democrats, who account for just 2.6% of registered voters, are the most outnumbered by Republicans in the 30 states that track local party affiliation, according to Associated Press election data.
