An election reform bill continues to move through the Kentucky legislature. Proponents describe the measure as modifications to election law. A change endorsed by the Senate committee calls for the Secretary of State to have the final say on local election plans. Senate State and Local Government Committee Member Damon Thayer is a strong supporter of that change.
“To be honest there are a lot of legislators who would just as soon blow up the whole voting center model and go back to the precincts. That’s a real thing. And that bill was suggested. And then there are some people who want to leave it exactly as it is,” said Thayer.
