Kentucky Republicans celebrate after making it more difficult for people to vote during coronavirus crisis
Published 9 hours ago on April 14, 2020By Bob Brigham



Kentucky Republicans celebrated on Tuesday after successfully overriding a veto on a bill to make it more difficult to vote.

Kentucky state senate Republicans posted a photo of Sen. Damon Thayer and Sen. Robby Mills posing with Secretary of State Michael Adams.

Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear had blasted the bill in his veto message.

“I am vetoing Senate Bill 2 because the provisions of the law would create an obstacle to the ability of Kentuckians to exercise their right to vote, resulting in fewer people voting and undermining our democracy,” Beshear said in early Apriil.

Why the Federalists have not been deemed a domestic terrorist organization, I will never know.

Since the beginning of our country, they have manipulated, lied, cheated, and stolen to capture & retain power for themselves & big $, obviously much to the detriment of the masses and the planet.

I despise them too!

I imagine he's more than a little worried about next fall. I need to send a contribution to his opponent.
