He puts out a blast campaign with a lot of money soon before elections.
He's also incumbent, and incumbents are hard to unseat.
Democrat - registered voters are more liberal in their thinking and take their I individual vote seriously. Republican - registered voters vote the Republican line exclusively, hook, line, and sinker.
Democrat voters have trouble getting voters out on election day despite carpool drivers, campaigning, and good weather. I don't know why.
But I will say that we had a very large voter turnout in the Democratic primary this yet because of absentee voting by mail, early voting at the Office of Elections, and one place to go for all the precincts in my country of Jefferson, and Louisville, KY.
Many criticized KY for only one polling place. But it is a very accessible place and very large: the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, where the State Fair is held each year. Many states are asking our Governor how they can make it work for them.
We had record-breaking turnout because of all these methods.
And now our president wants to slow down the post office. And so does Senator McConnell. Do you wonder why? Several states have absentee voting by mail as a matter of course. Like Ohio, e.g.
The more accessible voting is, the more likely minorities and women will vote. And the more likely we won't let Sen. McConnell get away with his shenanigans.
Our Governor Andy Beshear wants us to have this for the General Election. McConnell does not. See any parallels?
Do you wonder why precinct collections of ballots get lost from places where Black people and Hispanic people have their precincts? Four years ago many minority precincts were closed or moved at the last minute, forcing many minority folk to miss out on voting. Votes were lost from other minority precincts. There's been an insidious and systemic and systematic culling of votes by those in power to keep the Republicans in high office.
All I have is one vote. But I will vote it. And I hope to be able to again vote by mail.
Thanks for your support.
