Today's Mazel of the Day goes to Kentucky governor Andy Beshear who banned conversion therapy for minors!

We cannot sit back and do nothing while our kids are hurting. Banning conversion therapy is about protecting our youth from an inhumane practice that hurts Kentuckians. It's the right thing to do.

We encourage the Jefferson County and State Boards of Elections to keep the polls open longer and provide all available accommodations to ensure that everyone gets a chance to vote in this important election. 3/3

BOBBIE HOLSCLAW: This is unacceptable. Accommodations MUST be made for voters who were unable to vote this morning. Polling places in Jefferson Co. that experienced delays should remain open until at least 8pm!

Our Election Protection Team is investigating the issues and working to ensure every vote is counted. If you encounter issues while voting today, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE to report the problems. #2024Election

We call on Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw to immediately extend voting hours to allow ALL voters’ voices to be heard! After many Jeff. Co. polling places experienced long technical delays this morning, Clerk Holsclaw refused to extend voting hours. Unacceptable.
