Kentucky does not do a bad job.  I have only voted "absentee" once... that
was for the 2020 COVID primary where they opened it up to everyone... and
the rules seemed pretty strict.  You had to request a ballot and it had to
be received by a certain time, signed at least once, and properly sealed or
it would not be counted.

When you vote in person, early or otherwise, you have to show and ID that
will allow them to determine what precinct you belong to.  They can scan
the back of our DL and get that.  No unprotected drop boxes.

One thing that I don't like here... several years ago the administration
tried to clean up the voter registrations by removing persons who did not
respond to a letter that was sent to their most-recent address if they had
also not voted in X number of years.  The AG at the time, who is now our
Democrat Governor, fought them and got names added back.

So, even though I had not been receiving any political material at my home
that was not addressed to me, I started receiving stuff for previous
residents, which tells me they at least put people back on the register
that were now living out of state, or that were dead, and that they may
have actually gone back and added some people that were already removed
before the administration did their cleanup.

Our rules seem pretty consistent.  Other states are a joke.
