Record breaking voter registration (Kentucky)

Didn't know if this had been posted, sorry if it has...


'FRANKFORT | Voter registration numbers in Kentucky have increased to a record breaking 3.14 million, according to Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.

According to Grimes, that number is higher than the previous amount of 3.1 million that were registered to vote in the May primary election, setting a new registration record for the state.'

blowing up in their faces? It could be.

Try and stop people from doing something like that and the reaction is to "stick it to the man!"

Democrats spent a bunch of time from June to October registering voters. Hope it pays off on Election Day!

There is no way, no way I tells ya, that Kentuckians are so stupid to return McConnell back to the Senate.
Not after the way he bragged to the Koch brothers in their "secret" meeting that he would be their lackey.

McConnell is another one of those Rethuglicans who hates the 47%, and never ever wanted to help anyone else.
The only thing McConnell has ever done is line his own pockets while he was in the Senate.
Being a lobbyist won't be nearly as lucrative for him, but he'll just have to learn to "get by" with what he's got!!!!!!!
