Bob and Alexis go off the page with Weston County Republican Party Chair Kari Drost, who is also an elected official (hospital board) and was one of three citizens who joined the News Letter Journal as co-Plaintiffs in the successful lawsuit against the Weston County Commissioners over the use of an illegal secret ballot to fill a vacant seat in the Wyoming House of Representatives. Drost talks about her role as county party chairman what is arguably the most Republican county in the most Republican state in the United States, and takes a stand for the rights of "the People" to be active and involved in government — and to expect their representatives to acknowledge them and their concerns. We also play a recording of the county commission meeting in November of 2021 where citizens first confronted the commissioners over their secret ballot, and Drost talks about her ongoing efforts to get the commissioners to fix an inaccuracy in their minutes from that meeting that falsely claims the use of a secret ballot is legal.
