Somewhat ambiguous response.   Any constructive ideas as to how to fix?

For Kid, it would be 1 voting place to a million Blacks, instead. He'd prefer none, but fears that somebody might notice the injustice if they did it that way.

In a typical election year, Kentucky has about 3,700 polling sites, according to most reports. When Election Day arrives on 23 June, there will be just 200 polling sites across the state — with some of those sites having to serve upwards of 600,000 residents.

Half Kentucky’s Black voters live in one county,” he wrote. “It will have one polling place... for 616,000 registered voters.”

Kentucky cuts number of polling stations by 95 percent ahead of primary voting

Kentucky moved the primary to 6/23 and they have pushed early mail in voting.

It may not be as dire as some are predicting. Can’t dismiss the efforts of the state to facilitate voting and safety.

“The redesign included encouraging voters to vote ahead of election day via absentee ballot. Friday morning, Blevins told LEX 18 that 92,611 Fayette County voters had requested a ballot by mail.

"That alone represents a 38% turnout which is much greater than any election going back 20 years. So people listened and are doing the right thing," said Blevins. "Our vote in-person by appointment, which is also still available, by the way, for those who are disabled or possibly elderly if you don't think you can wait in that line to come at a Kroger Field. Then we've got the senior center and we still have spots available for people to vote there that needed that that service has not been overwhelmed and that tells me that Lexingtonians are listening to my request only use it if you need it."

Blevins said he was encouraged by the early interest especially as he looks back at results from past years.”

You know a party is failing on the real issues when one of its supporters devotes three pages here obsessing over flag burning.

Remember, bambu is not an American. He comes from a land down under, where Errol Flynn and Mel Brooks, and many more Nazi sympathizers come from. So, he doesn't quite grasp what "liberty and justice for all" really means. 

Bambu prefers to shoot peas from his safe zone in Sydney so he can continue to hide his shame from being decended from convicts.

The irony for bambu is he comes from a land founded by people who were marginalized and had on opportunity to succeed in their native land, but once given that opportunity to cast off the chains of their own oppression rose to create a vibrant (albeit still flawed) civiliization.

When you look at real Aussie history, you'd think they of all people would grasp BLM.

Sadly, he's been taught to forget his country's true past. Had that not happened, he might actually be in a vastly different place, today.

For greater understanding of the failure to grasp what it means to truly be Australian, consider this:

If they were mad at anybody, it should be at whomever thought it was a good idea to boast about the huge numbers in advance as they did. The absolute best that could have come out of it was folks seeing it went as expected.

But if anything went wrong, from how the massive crowds were handled to failure of communication systems to... lower than expected attendance, they would look bad.

As it is, having looked at their set up, they are very fortunate not to have had the 100,000 bodies they claim to have expected.

But regardless, they should have been warning the throngs away all that week, to avoid having 80,000 people standing around for hours, waiting for the event to start and then to end. Why would they think that was a good idea for anybody?!

But, as one of the videos one of you posted pointed out, the Trump people don't care about the safety and well-being of attendees, of even their own supporters. They care only about the camera, about the image --> totally failing to understand that the images they are presenting are not conveying what they want them to.

They grouped those who went into the hall together. It makes those sections look packed, but...

that both made the rest of the Bok Center look empty (for good reason), it made the organizers look like the callous fools they are - they had a chance to say "we restricted the numbers for social distancing," a couple days early, or even on the day, "because the numbers are so low, we were able to protect those we have!"

Instead, they have a 1/3 full place, but with people jammed together.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

And the federal judge said that was fine.

The folks who brought suit were GOP.

Oklahoma spent $2 million on hydroxychloraquine.
Which seems to be 6M pills, unless they got cheated and paid a premium.
But April prices were $0.34 per pill.

Bambi bleats like sheep he wishes he were fucking. There is never anything to learn from him, just a pile of dirty diapers.

Not using diapers yet, but I know some who are.
Why ...do I know?
I don't want to know, but some people feel compelled to tell.

I’m not saying you use or don’t use diapers. I’m saying that all you post and the content of your mind is comprised entirely of dirty diapers. It’s not even your runny poop in there. You accumulate the shit of others to make of yourself one giant stinking pile.

Your radio host, who so regularly misleads you, is using you as his diaper, as is ScoMo, as is Putin, as is trump.

The results of it just kind of got out of hand.

Didn't know the statue. I'm surprised it has lasted this long.
