4. Is that a Dem county?

KY is pretty red. It would be interesting to know if that is an unusually blue county. Either way, people need to vote.

6. They should have enough ballots for every voter, instead of assuming

turnout will be low.

7. it used to be a blue county

we are a suburb, just about, of cincinnati ohio. (right across the river) it has turned increasingly red in the last 20 years. i have a family member who was an elected democrat in this county for 30 years.
