From the Stumbo campaign: Our most American rights under attack here in Kentucky
Imagine this: you show up and try to vote, your legal right and privilege, only to find out you can't.
Because your name was wrongly purged from the voter rolls. And now you cannot vote, cannot have your say in Kentucky's future.
It's not too far-fetched. Back when I was your attorney general for the first time, partisan bureaucrats wrongly purged more than 8,000 voters from the rolls. It was a pretty naked attempt to skew the results, don't you think?
Since then, we've seen it happen elsewhere across America. Heck, in the 2016 election, our neighbors two states down, Georgia, had a massive scandal over what some papers called the "largest" purge in our nation's history — upwards of several hundred thousand voters.
So, what can we do about this, when our most American right is threatened? Stand up to it. Fight.
Back when I was attorney general before, I fought and won the battle to protect voters' rights. And, let me tell you: don't ever let anyone suggest that these purges are for your "safety" — it's 99.9% partisan political bull.
That includes today, where the state board of elections continues to try to purge voters, and Kentucky's Attorney General must be ready to protect all of us who've earned that right to vote.
Hear me clearly: I'm running for attorney general because I will fight for your right to vote and be counted in Federal Courts, State Courts, and in the Capitol, just like I did before.
