## Resource

Election integrity is critical for public trust in democracy. In the recent West Virginia Primary, a mere six votes decided the outcome in the GOP race for House District 71. But what if non-Republicans slipped through to vote? Starting this year, the Republican Primary is closed to non-GOP registered voters. Delegate Laura Kimble, a Freedom Caucus member, faced a shocking primary loss and is now contesting the results. Also on this episode, the Kentucky Surpreme Court is on the road hearing oral arguments in Ashland, KY. Deputy Chief Justice Robert B. Conley of the state Supreme Court was in my studio which is just block away from where the justices will meet.
