What happened in the Kentucky primaries and what does it mean for the national election?

Even after the presidential nominees have been decided, the primary season carries on, with multiple states holding primaries on Tuesday, June 23.

Though former Vice President Joe Biden locked up the Democratic nomination at the beginning of the month, there is still considerable drama in down ballot races in the remaining primaries.

Kentucky’s Tuesday primary is evidence of that.

Closed polling stations, long lines of people waiting to vote and a hotly contested Democratic primary where the winner gets the chance to take on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are the three biggest storylines out of the Bluegrass State. These stories don’t just highlight concerns over a fair voting process in Kentucky, but underscore the difficulties lying ahead for the 2020 general election.

A lack of polling stations

Two national news stories emerged out of Kentucky in the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s vote.

The first was that many polling stations throughout some of the most highly populated counties in the state had been closed, resulting in a lawsuit being filed in a United States district court.
