And here we go:

More than 100 voting machines in Kenton County have been shut down on a judge’s order.

Secretary of State spokesman Les Fugate said at least two machines in Kenton County weren’t properly registering straight-ticket votes.

The malfunctions could affect the tightly contested state Senate race between incumbent Republican Jack Westwood of Crescent City and Democrat Kathy Groop, an activist with a public relations background.

Hopefully a left ran government will do away with these destroyers of democracy.
