"Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find /
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time" is the slogan of my next campaign, actually.

I've taken immense heat for my decisions on how to make our elections safe and successful, but notice no one is arguing I've made these decisions in my own or anyone else's political interests. Show me the door in 2023 but until then I'll act on my knowledge and my conscience.

No one should hang the Governor in effigy outside his home; no one should stand outside the Attorney General's house and chant "burn it down"; and no one should threaten me or my staff. Enough.
"My life has been threatened, and my hardworking, nonpartisan staff routinely are verbally abused. This is not OK."
Secretary of State Mike Adams tweeted the comments in response to a story shared by a ProPublica reporter.

Uh, your campaign literally sued me and Governor Beshear to get our agreement on absentee voting for the primary declared unconstitutional.
Hey SecState Adams, I voted by mail for 24 years in the military. It works just fine. Our Commander in Chief votes by mail. Kentucky should be able to vote by mail.

After nearly 2 years campaigning around KY for a Photo ID to Vote law, and 5 months helping to draft/ negotiate one, tonight I had the honor to sign it (the SOS signs veto overrides). Amazing what a constitutional officer can achieve when he treats the legislature with respect.

Closest, but not close. ;)
In 2019, Republican attorney Michael Adams (
@Adams4SecState
) was elected KY Secretary of State, defeating Democrat Heather French Henry. This was the closest statewide race that was won by a Republican. Henry did well in the metros but Adams dominated in SE KY.

Republican and Democratic voters have their differences, but they agree on wanting options to vote safely. In November, voters who believe they are at risk can vote absentee - as President Trump has endorsed - and we will have more in-person voting for voters who prefer that.

I hope this is overblown. This plan is more right-leaning than the primary plan that got rave reviews. It scales down absentee balloting, provides for more in-person voting, and protects SB 2 from being struck down by 1 of the 3 courts currently considering doing so.
