Voter Empowerment
Voter Empowerment Update - Primary in 3 Weeks
Three weeks from today, on Tuesday, May 22, Kentucky will have a Primary Election that will narrow the field on races from city council seats to state legislative races, to US congressional races, setting the stage for the big elections in November.
In the coming weeks, KFTC members will launch an education campaign to let people know about candidate stances - through our print voter guides and www.KentuckElection.org. We'll also call thousands of people to make sure they're all set to vote.
What Congressional District am I in, anyway?
Although the state legislative redistricting failed earlier this year, the redistricting of the Congressional districts passed, as did redistricting of seats within many counties and cities.
To find what districts you're in now, you can visit the Kentucky Voter Information Center.
Kentucky Tonight Congressional Debates
Bill Goodman on KET's Kentucky Tonight is holding a series of discussions with Congressional candidates to give viewers a chance to learn about the candidates and make a more informed decision on election day, Tuesday, May 22nd.
The first debate was last week and included the 1st Congressional District Democratic candidates and 3rd Congressional District Democratic candidates, respectively. A video of that program can be found here or by clicking on the image above.
Tonight, the discussion will be between the Republicans in the 6th Congressional District and the program will air live at 8pm EST.
How the Media Covered the 2012 Primary Campaign
The Pew Research Center released an analysis yesterday about media coverage in the 2012 Republican Presidential primary.
Although much of the analysis is that the media spent more time on issues and substance than the "horse race" as compared to 2008, this graph is still extremely lopsided.
