Western Kentucky Congressman James Comer is confident the U.S. Postal Service will be able to handle an influx of absentee ballots associated with the election and he opposes universal mail-in voting that’s been proposed or instituted in other states.
Appearing on the Sean Hannity Show, Congressman Comer accused Democrats across the country of trying to “sneak in” universal mail-in voting.
He compared the increased volume for absentee ballots to the census or Christmas, saying the postal service can handle it.
Voters in Kentucky will have more options to vote in person November 3 than they did for the June primary. Registered voters in the commonwealth can also request a mail-in absentee ballot if they have any concerns about COVID-19 and they won’t have to explain their concern.
A disability, illness or being out of the county between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Election Day are also valid reasons to request a mail-in absentee ballot.
County clerks’ offices across Kentucky will again offer expanded in-person absentee voting in the days and weeks leading up to the election.
