Kentucky cutting number of polling places for Tuesday’s primary from 3700 to 200

There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live

This is going to be a disaster https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/kentucky-braces-for-possible-voting-problems-in-tuesdays-primary-amid-signs-of-high-turnout/2020/06/19/b7b960ce-b199-11ea-8f56-63f38c990077_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...

Mitch McConnell is blocking legislation passed by House Dems to:

-restore Voting Rights Act

-implement nationwide automatic voter registration, early voting & end to voter purging

-expand vote by mail & give $3.6 billion in much needed election aid to states

If we don’t urgently expand vote by mail AND make it easy to vote safely in person, millions of voters will be disenfranchised in November https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/06/coronavirus-voting-rights/">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/...

Important thread from @joesonka: many Kentuckians have voted by mail or voted early, so hopefully they won’t be long lines Tuesday

Still, it seems problematic to have only one voting location in Louisville & Lexington, even if they’re big venues https://twitter.com/joesonka/status/1274742757739966464">https://twitter.com/joesonka/...

Another important thread by @JoshuaADouglas, who’s a must follow for Kentucky voting rights news

Kentuckians should try to vote early today or send your mail ballot back by tomorrow to avoid possible long lines on Election Day. Mail ballots can also be dropped off https://twitter.com/joshuaadouglas/status/1274881770203144194">https://twitter.com/joshuaado...
