HB 574--the new Kentucky elections bill--is now up on the House floor.
It's a great, compromise package. It expands voter access while enhancing the integrity of the process. #KYGA21

Rep. Decker just mentioned me (though not by name) on the House floor. I was proud to provide some insights on this bill to help improve it. Thanks for the shout-out!
House just adopted Floor Amendment 2, which allows homeless individuals to choose a permanent address for voting purposes.
.@buddywheatleyky calls House Floor Amendment 3, which would add 8 early voting days (the current bill has 3, up from zero early voting days that is in current law).
The Amendment fails. Bill remains at 3 days of early voting.

Take note of Kentucky: there are both Democrats and Republicans standing up in support of this election bill.
It doesn't have everything that everyone wants. But it has a lot that many people like--and most importantly, it elevates the right to vote.
