Eastern Kentucky county clerks' opinions on early voting differ

(kentuckycountyclerks.com / )

The culmination of the Primary Election in 2020 occurs Tuesday. At precincts across the Commonwealth, voters are choosing their leaders. This year’s springtime election included three days of no-excuse early voting. Floyd County Clerk Chris Waugh would like to see more than three days of early voting. He’s been a county clerk in the eastern Kentucky county for 24 years. Waugh said the voting dynamics have changed a great deal.

“I believe the days when you could go to grandpa and grandpa was gonna make sure everybody in the family gets out to vote and ole grandpa could usually tell them how to vote, I think those days is over. I think it’s more individual lives now, which is a good thing,” said Waugh.
