Why Kentucky Just Became the Only Red State to Expand Voting Rights

“Kentucky actually had probably, until this point, the most restrictive
laws in the country on voting,” said Michael Adams, the Republican
secretary of state, who was the leading force behind the bill. “And
that’s what we’re trying to change.”
Indeed, even with its newly expanded voting access, Kentucky’s voting
rules remain comparatively stricter than those of Georgia, which
recently overhauled its electoral system with new restrictions on
voting. Even under Georgia’s new law, for example, the state still has
no-excuse absentee voting and a much longer earlier voting period than
Kentucky.
d'oh!
