Kentucky governor signs bill to expand voting access

By Tal Axelrod - 04/07/21 02:40 PM EDT   Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) signed into law Wednesday a bill that expands voting access, making his state an outlier as others with GOP-held legislatures pass a string of restrictions.  Beshear, who unseated a Republican governor in 2019 and is running for reelection in 2023, signed a measure that will establish three days of early voting, stand up voting centers to provide more options for in-person voting and open a digital portal for voters to register and apply for ballots. It also allows voters to retroactively fix issues with absentee ballots. Beshear’s signature makes Kentucky the only state in the nation with a legislature run by Republicans to expand voting access.
