JUST IN: Kentucky Supreme Court rules unanimously in favor of Gov. Andy Beshear on his COVID-19 emergency regulations. They stay in place.
"The Governor’s orders were, and continue to be, necessary to slow the
spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of all Kentucky citizens..."
"This type of highly contagious etiological hazard is precisely the type of emergency that requires a statewide response and properly serves as a basis for the Governor’s actions under KRS Chapter 39A..."

Just talked to spox for the Jefferson County Clerk, with easily the most Democratic voters in the state and the biggest factor in #kysen results. A few things:
Based on past statements from county/state election officials, we expected Jefferson County results to come Tuesday after 6pm, but they will come earlier. Spox says these likely will be sent to state that morning & then posted publicly -- including all early and mail-ins. #kysen
JeffCo spox also said they don't have a final figure for how many absentee ballots were mailed in, but should have that number soon. Said there were ~100 in a bin to go over whether signature was correct, plus waiting on a few counties to FedEx ballots sent to wrong address.

Here in the Expo Center in Louisville. A whole lot of space and short lines to vote.
The Fayette County Clerk appears to have not planned this out the same way.

For those wondering how voting will work at one (huge) voting place in Louisville Tuesday & how turnout may effect Dem #kysen primary, here’s some context from turnout numbers in recent years compared numbers from last week on mailed absentee ballots plus early voters (1/2)
Jefferson Co. voter turnout (total; Dems)

2016: 138,619; 110,269
2018: 104,924; 75,555
2019: 133,405; 98,515

Jefferson County, KY number of absentee ballots mailed to voters plus in person early voters

It’s been 12 hours since Mayor Fischer said “Mason jars full of flammable materials” were among milk jugs & water bottles smashed/confiscated by police at protest in downtown Louisville and no photos or details of such jars/materials have been released: courier-journal.com/story/news/loc…
The day is young.
