Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has signed a bipartisan-supported bill into law that expanded voting access by codifying election recount procedures, online absentee ballot portals and early voting procedures

"Today is also a good day for democracy, a good day for elections," he said."I want to start by talking about voting -- about how when much of the country has put in more restrictive laws -- that Kentucky legislators, Kentucky leaders were able to come together to stand up for democracy and to expand the opportunity for people to vote."The bill, HB 574, passed 91-3 in the state House and 33-3 in the state Senate before going to Beshear's desk last week.

The signing of the bill comes at a time when Republicans in key states -- including Georgia, Arizona and Texas -- are pushing to make voting more difficult after former President Donald Trump's months of lies about the outcome of the 2020 election. The efforts have drawn criticism -- particularly in Georgia, where the new law has become the target of corporate backlash.

xscoutie Great! But the republican controlled Congress will override him just like other republican state controlled Congresses have done to their Democratic governor.

Are you kidding me - this is more restrictive that Georgia’s law!!!! We have 19 days early voting, already have ballot boxes for dropoff, already have runoff procedures, already have an online portal for absentee ballot requests and already have a paper ballot printed off.

Good. Now. How do we find out if Mitch cheated?! 🤔

Thank you 🙏!!!
