There are 120 counties in Kentucky. Most counties are very small. My county has had a single voting place for the whole county for 25 years. It's not a BIG deal. The state has been very proactive in getting people to get a mail in a ballot. They even sent a postcard to EVERY voter telling them to go online or call your local county clerk to request a ballot. Also, the ballots are free to mail. Also, each county allows for in-person absentee voting so if you don't want to use the mail, you can go vote now. If there are lines of people, then it's their fault. This article is an overreaction. Gov. Beshear is NOT suppressing votes in Kentucky.
