Special election tomorrow

For those unawares, there's a special election for a Kentucky House seat in my district tomorrow. The district covers roughly the northern half of Campbell County.

I no longer have the patience or physical energy to write much detail about it, but I need to note it here. The Republican candidate is as bizarre as one might expect. She has taken an unusual interest in a proposed convention of states to amend the Constitution - a right-wing cause celebre to try to bypass public opinion and the usual amendment process. On her business filings, the Republican candidate lists her home address as Falmouth, which is well outside the district. For this election, however, she claims to live at an address in Bellevue that apparently does not even exist. I checked online real estate maps and records, and that address cannot be found. The maps and records just skip over that house number.

Republican appointees are of course trying to cheat outright. The GOP-dominated Campbell County Board of Elections moved numerous polling locations to stifle turnout. Republican cheating has worn mighty thin, and it continues unchecked.

I probably won't write about this election again unless something else unusual happens - which it often does.
