When it comes to voting, many are accustomed to lining up at a neighborhood school. But what if schools are still in session and not particularly keen on closing down — as they will be in May when the primaries hit.
Fayette County Clerk Don Blevins had crafted a plan that would have schools shut down for that time, but changes OKed by the legislature necessitated a new arrangement.
The new deal calls for early voting at UK's Kroger Field, the site also utilized as a mass testing and vaccination center earlier in the pandemic.
It's a workaround that Blevins admits will only buy his office time, as it's a temporary solution and a new location will be needed in the fall for the general election.
