Atypical May Weather Doesn’t Dissuade These Lexington Voters

Rainy and cool conditions greeted many Kentucky voters today as they cast their ballots. 

In south Lexington, Claire Hundley said it’s important to make her voice heard.  And yet, she labeled this primary a "scary election."  “None of the candidates we’re voting for right now is liked by people.  Nobody seems to trust any of the candidates and yet, that’s what we are faced with.”

Debbie Morris, a native of Germany, and her husband Gary cast their ballots.  Gary says voter participation in Germany seems higher with more political parties.

A few miles away at the Garden Springs Elementary voting location, Tony Wilson said voting is a value he and his family hold high in their home,  “For me, it’s been difficult in making a decision because it’s a pivotal time for our country, whether you are a Republican or Democrat.”

Downtown, Stephanie Quinn is from Chicago, but has lived in Lexington for ten years.   She believes the visits by Hillary and Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders demonstrate Kentucky is an influential state during this Primary.?
