Another one. This is too much.
786,283 more registered than can vote?

Teasing out the number of Democrats & Republicans isn't easy. For instance, KY Public Radio interviewed uky's director of Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues on 6/20/2018 who said many conservative voters have still been registered as Democrats.
They do so to have a say in local primary elections still dominated by Democratic candidates. "It’s just a statement when you go change your registration. If your family has been registered Dem since the Civil War, then that is your party of heritage.
To change your registration is to step outside the box.”
In the 2008 Democratic primary, race was an issue. 19% of whites said race was a factor in who they decided to vote for. Hillary Clinton ended up more than doubling Obama’s votes in Kentucky, winning by 64% to 30%.

"As of June 15 (2018) Democrats make up 49.9 percent of registered voters in Kentucky while Republicans make up 41 percent and the rest identify either with a third party or as independents."
Questions remain.

Turnout Statistics -
"Disclaimer: The turnout report cannot accurately be compared to the election results page due to the fact the turnout report is run after the Kentucky Voter Registration rolls reopen.
The discrepancy in the numbers are the results of voters who have moved out of state, moved to another county, or are purged for being a convicted felon, incompetent, and deceased. Also, the State Board of Elections scans the precinct signature rosters which is not 100% accurate.
The discrepancy in the numbers reflect these changes within the county voter registration.
Please consider the turnout statistics as an unofficial document. Official documentation can be obtained from the County Clerk's office."
so, the state isn't official.
is this America?

June 22, 2020 - "Kentucky election expected to be a "disaster" after polling locations cut: voting rights advocates - Jefferson County has a population of roughly 767,000 and will have just one polling location"
"a federal judge denied an effort to expand the number of polling places in Kentucky."
The June 23 primary will have "[f]ewer than 200 polling places," reported the Washington Post, "down from 3,700 in a typical election year."
(this leading up to the general election.)

Folks, going in circles. The state election office says counties have official numbers. Counties aren't saying.
There's little else I can do, so I have no choice but to withdraw from the chase. Sorry for causing an uproar, then not bringing it to a resolution.

Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State, said nearly 3,000 absentee ballots have been invalidated, but more than 1,000 of those were corrected or "cured."
Voters have until Nov. 9 to cure their ballots, which means it could take longer to accurately tally all votes.
