What's going with Kentucky's primary election polling places on Tuesday?

[Lakhota]

Louisville, Kentucky (CNN) State lawmakers and voting rights activists are bracing for potential chaos during Kentucky's primary election on Tuesday after concerns over coronavirus led state elections officials to sharply limit the number of in-person polling places.

Those limits -- from just under 3,700 polling locations in a typical election, according to the Kentucky secretary of state, to 170 locations on Tuesday -- have led to outcry across the country, particularly from Democrats who say it could result in a nightmare scenario in big cities with hours-long lines, potentially disenfranchising Black voters. The commonwealth's two most populous counties, Jefferson and Fayette, the homes of Louisville and Lexington, will have just one in-person polling location each open on Tuesday.

The outcry has already made Kentucky the newest battleground in a nationwide fight over voting access.

Republicans don't want minorities to vote.

Republicans don't want minorities to vote.

And that's the most racist thing of all.

Republicans don't want minorities to vote.

No.. they don't want people who aren't legal citizens to vote. I'm not a republican, but it's pretty easy to follow the logic.

It's a primary who gives a shit if they vote or not! 90% of them are gonna lock step vote for whatever demoncrat offers them the most free stuff.

Is the governor responsible for the fraud and corruption that's going on with the voting?

What "fraud" and "corruption" would that be? HE is the one who did this with his state of emergency declaration.

What did he do exactly?

Because, from your post you're simultaneously suggesting that nothing untoward is happening, but if there is it's definitely the fault of the Democrat in charge.

So be specific. Spit it out.

You claimed there is some fraud and corruption, no idea what you are talking about. Sure there is something happening the DEMOCRAT governor declared an emergency and obviously in the 3 months he has had since then didn't get more polling place open or edit his declaration to insure polling places were enough to cover all the people. I don't care who votes, in fact I hope the far leftist who is trying to take on McConnell wins and McGrath loses. It's gonna be a pain in the ass for the underpaid and sometimes not even paid poll workers to deal with unruly people having to stand in line ALL day long.

Republicans control the Kentucky Senate. Regardless of who controls what - this polling places purge is unconscionable.

Did the Senate make this decision?
