EDITOR'S NOTE: Kudos to everybody who got a mail-in absentee ballot for Tuesday's postponed primary. Meanwhile, between today and election day we're going to regularly post election news roundups. They'll mainly focus on the three-way Democratic senatorial primary contest to see who gets a chance to Ditch Mitch on Nov. 3. Your Kentucky State AFL-CIO COPE Committee unanimously voted "no recommendation" in the primary, thus freeing individual affiliated unions to support the candidate of their choice. The COPE Committee will meet again--probably by teleconference--to make endorsements for the fall.
