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

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
