Reminder: if your vote truly didn’t matter, they would not be trying this hard to suppress your vote.
Kentucky cutting number of polling places for Tuesday’s primary from 3700 to 200
There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live
