This thread is for discussion on state races and ballot measures. Is your state legalizing or banning abortion? Weed? Ranked choice balloting?

This is the place to discuss it!

    Here in ky, to nobody’s surprise, we have some Republican bullshittery.

    Prop 1 adds wording to the state constitution that makes it illegal for all non-US citizens to vote… Which is already the State law. Vote NO.

    Prop 2 is a doozie - enables the state to funnel public funds to charter schools under the guise of “educational freedom” or some bullshit like that. HARD NO on that one!

      Yeah, 1 is already illegal and 2 sounds like they want to take public dollars away from public schools and feed it to religious ones. 🙄

        100% it’s gonna go to religious schools. I’m not even sure that any non-religious private schools even exist in this backwards-ass state

          They do. There are a few elite non-religious private schools in Louisville.

          But they are far outnumbered by parochial schools.

      Hello fellow Kentuckian!

      I saw a story this week that pointed out in Arkansas, 80% of students who got vouchers didn’t enroll in private schools. In other words, if your parents couldn’t afford private schools before, they most likely still couldn’t even with vouchers.

      That’s what’s on the ballot for KY. NO ON 2!

      My wife and I tried, looks like we lost the presidential for KY, not super surprised, but disappointed.

      Glad we won prop 2 though. We don’t have kids, and they’re not in our future, but they already keep taking too many funds from public schools.

      Anyone have the result for prop 1?
