Feb. 25—Republicans in Frankfort are trying to carefully steer legislation that would expand voting access in Kentucky after what many hailed as a successful 2020 election with expanded voting options because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
House Bill 574, sponsored by three Republican lawmakers, which was advanced by a committee Thursday, doesn't expand absentee and in-person voting as much as the temporary measures put in place for the pandemic, but it would make it easier to vote in a state with some of the most restrictive voting laws in the country.
