KY Takes Small Step to EXPAND Voting
Weird, right? Kentucky already has one of the most restrictive voting rulebooks in the country: no early voting, no weekend or evening voting hours, ID required, etc.
But now this.

Kentuckians can now register to vote online.Bevin to file a lawsuit against online registrants in 3, 2 ....
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes touted the state’s new online registration system, GoVoteKy.com, Monday at a news conference in the Capitol Rotunda.
Grimes, the state's chief election official, said Kentucky voters also can use the system to change their existing registration information, such as political party affiliation.
Before, Kentuckians had to register to vote or change voting information by mail or in person using voter registration cards.
The new system will be more convenient, said Grimes, noting that 30 states already have online registration.
The system was activated March 1.
“Already, a 93-year-old went online to update her registration,” Grimes said.
Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw, who attended the news conference, said about 100,000 voters in Jefferson County have used the new system in the last 10 days to either register or to update their registration.
Good job, Alison. Now let's establish vote-by-mail and turn this state blue again.
