Voter suppression happens at all phases of the process starting with the crazy idea of registration.

Kentucky does suppress the vote. But trying to keep voters safe they made voting easier than it ever was. The worse thing the bigger cities could have done is attempt to open more voting sites than they had workers to staff.

Lexington and Louisville are democratic cities and the governor is a good democrat.

We will be luck if it this easy in November. If so democrats will have a good night. But I worry the legislature, after seeing the results today will try to change the system.

Have a nice evening.
