Kentucky Votes Today. Here Are All the Ways Mitch McConnell Has Made That Harder.

[Hortensis]

13. Amazing. Until recently (Democratic governor), voting by mail

was only available to a few, and it's probable many didn't realize they could. KY also allowed a scant 3 days of early voting right before election day -- Friday, Saturday, Monday, or join the final lines today.

We'd have early-voted, but I'm wondering how 'we'd handle it if there were long lines no matter which day we went? There are a fair number of people like me who genuinely cannot take heat and UV rays. Getting in line before 6 would leave 3 hours to sundown, so best course would be to arrive in the middle of the night, when no doubt lines already started forming.

Bring chairs (how do so many older people stand for 6 and more hours?!), UV-protective coverings and sunscreen, umbrella, water, medication, cooling packs, fan with spare batteries, spare masks, reading material..., and keep shifting camp every few minutes for several hours. Whatever it took.
