A record number of Kentuckians are registered to vote, just in time for Sen. Mitch McConnell's reelection race.
A record number of Kentucky residents are registered to vote as of Jan. 31, Secretary of State Michael Adams (R) announced on Tuesday.
More than 3.4 million Kentuckians are now registered, marking a new high for the state.
In his statement, Adams encouraged "every eligible person who is not registered to vote to do so by April 20, the last day to register to vote in the May 19 primary."
According to the Kentucky Secretary of State's Office, 48% of Kentucky voters are registered as Democrats, 43% are Republicans, and 9% are "listed under other affiliations."
Adams said Kentucky had "relatively high voter turnout in 2019" and he hopes "Kentuckians will show up strong at the polls" this year to select both a president and senator as well as state officials.

(2,412 posts)I am guessing that many who were economically desperate voted for Trump and McConnell. I think many have realized that they are not doing so well. Kitchen table economics says vote Democratic Party all the way!

(9,039 posts)So, obviously, turnout is key yet again. Wondering how many jurisdictions in KY use paper ballots?
not fooled
(5,802 posts)As that evil POS bevin started doing.
It's really that simple for a lot of folks. Sounds as though more and more are figuring it out.

(4,292 posts)As an expatriate Kentuckian, I see this as good news, a great step forward for the Commonwealth.
But we must keep our eyes on the prize. That means:
Actively supporting Amy McGrath. Write a check (or one each month).
Put out yard signs, and replace them when vandals rip them off.
Knock on doors, and put your cell phones unlimited calls feature to good use. (Learn how to handle rejection; dont take it personally).
Volunteer to drive Democratic voters to the polls. Take a day off from work if need be.
Support the other Dem candidates on the ballot. If the Blue Tsunami 🌊 is going to happen, we must work tirelessly between now and November 3!
Too much is at stake here.
