1) In Kentucky, registered Repugnicans now outnumber Democrats.
2) All statewide elected officials in Kentucky other than the governor and lieutenant governor are Right Wing Radical Repugnicans.
3) In Kentucky, we simultaneously have the best governor in America and one of the 3 or 4 worst state legislatures in America.
4) In the past 8 to 10 years in Kentucky, we have seen more repressive, regressive, and repulsive laws passed than we had in the previous 231 years of our statehood.
5) In the last 6 presidential elections in Kentucky, the state has voted for the Right Wing Radical Repugnican in each of those elections. In 13 of the last 15 presidential elections, Kentucky has voted for the Right Wing Radical Repugnican. Bill Clinton is the last Democratic presidential candidate who won Kentucky.
6) In Kentucky, 5 of our 6 congress members are Right Wing Radical Repugnicans and so are both of our US Senators.
7) The Right Wing Radical Repugnican state legislature has been allowed to gerrymander congressional districts to the point that no reasonable, well qualified Democrat can be expected to win over even the worst Right Wing Radical Repugnican such as Thomas Massie. The maps of the congressional districts in Kentucky make districts 1 and 4 appear as if they were laid out by a drunk.
8) In Kentucky, most elections have voter turnouts of less than 50% of registered voters year after year.
9) The current Secretary of State in Kentucky has promoted numerous laws intended to bring about extensive voter suppression with little or no public opposition from most of the groups the suppression is intended to harm such as minorities, the poor, the poorly educated, the elderly, the young, the medically fragile, and other at risk groups.
