    My rate of posting has been a bit slow over the last several days and may continue to be so for several more. No problems. Just a couple of projects that have to be taken care of immediately.

    Meantime I would remind my Kentucky readers that we have a gubernatorial primary tomorrow. I heard on WEKU a prediction that they expect only a 15% turnout this year. Also, we will have a run-off if none of the 7 Democrats or 3 Republicans running get as much as 40% of their respective primary votes.

    Forty per cent of 15% is something like 6% so it’s possible that our next governor will be determined by less than 10% of the population.

    Get out there and vote people!

    Here’s the Secretary of State’s rundown of all candidates. Sample ballots, county by county, here.

    Lexington Herald-Leader endorsements.

    Courier-Journal full coverage.

    Survey USA.

    P.S. I recommend PBH’s post on Disproportionate Representation.
