In reply to the discussion: There's only one polling place open in Louisville, KY . Guess who's there feeding those waiting ? [View all]questionseverything
(9,631 posts)17. why the rush to close?
6:00 p.m.: Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Charles Booker has filed an injunction in Jefferson County Circuit Court, seeking to keep polls open in Louisville until 9pm. A spokesman for the campaign said Booker was filing the motion because there is currently a long line of cars waiting to get into the Kentucky Expo Center, the countys only in-person election day polling place. Despite that injunction, the doors to the Expo Center closed at 6:00.
