Ky. Voting Records Show Net Decline
KENTUCKY....
Records from the Kentucky State Board of Elections show that, since January 2009, more than 100,000 new voters have registered, 50,000 as Democrats, 41,000 as Republicans and 11,600 with other parties, even though all three categories showed net declines. The tea party movement has stirred political activism across the state, but hasn't triggered an increase in voters. Numbers show Kentucky hasn't had enough people registering over the past year to replace those who died or were removed from the voter rolls for other reasons. The state had a net decline of roughly 70,000 voters since the 2008 presidential election. During the first two months of this year, Democrats continued to outpace Republicans in registrations.
