Grimes predicts 49 percent voter turnout
Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes today projected approximately 49 percent of the 3.1 million people registered to vote in Kentucky will turn out for Tuesday's general election.
“After reviewing absentee data provided by our county clerks and historical turnout in similar election cycles, I forecast that nearly half of registered Kentucky voters will cast ballots in Tuesday’s General Election,” Grimes said. “But as the Commonwealth’s chief advocate for civic engagement, I am hopeful that as many as are registered will participate.”
In 2010, a similar midterm cycle with one U.S. Senate race and county offices on the ballot in Kentucky, 49 percent of voters went to the polls. About 49.5 percent of the Kentucky electorate voted in the 2006 midterm cycle.
As of Oct. 27, 22,390 voters had voted absentee on machines in county clerks’ offices and 21,598 absentee ballots had been mailed to voters.
Grimes encourages voters to prepare to vote Tuesday by checking their polling places and viewing sample ballots through the Voter Information Center.

Daylight saving time ends Sunday
Kentucky Press News Service
Daylight saving time will come to an end Sunday as the nation switches back to standard time.
The change, as usual, will be at 2 a.m., but most people change their clocks by turning them back one hour before going to bed the evening before which, in this case, will be Saturday. That means, for example, if going to bed at 11 p.m., turn your clocks back to 10 p.m. before going to sleep. Then they will have the correct time on Sunday morning and you will have gotten an extra hour of sleep.
A change in federal law switched the start and stop of daylight saving time to March and November several years ago, yet outdated information about the time change weekends continues to circulate on social media sites such as Facebook.
Daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

Voters urged to prepare for Election Day
Kentucky Press News Service
The general election is less than a week away, and Kentucky's secretary of state, the state's chief election official, reminds all eligible voters to plan ahead for Election Day to make sure their voices are heard on Tuesday.
“Every election matters,” Alison Lundergan Grimes said in a news release. “Our Commonwealth is at its best when every Kentuckian’s voice is heard, and it’s important that voters be knowledgeable about our election process so they can have a meaningful opportunity to participate.”
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time, and any eligible voter who is in line to vote by 6 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot. Grimes said the morning and evening rush hours and lunch time tend to be busy, so voters who visit the polls during those periods should plan accordingly.
Grimes urges voters to avoid surprises on Election Day by checking their polling place and viewing sample ballots through the Voter Information Center at https://vr.sos.ky.gov/vic/.
Under Kentucky law, employers must allow employees who are eligible to vote to be absent from work for at least four hours in order to cast a ballot. Kentuckians who will be working on Election Day outside the county in which they reside are eligible to vote by absentee ballot. Employers may specify the hours during which an employee may be absent, and employees should request voting leave in advance of the day on which they will vote. Employers have discretion whether to compensate employees for voting leave.
Mail-in absentee ballots must be received by the county clerk by 6 p.m. local time Tuesday. In-person absentee voting is currently available in all county clerks’ offices and will remain open until close of business on Monday.

Absentee voting in state above 35,000
It's still six days before the polls open in Kentucky, but plenty of people statewide have already voted.
According to the Kentucky State Board of Elections, 22,390 people had cast absentee ballots at their respective county clerk's office as of Monday. At 9:30 a.m. today, Crittenden County Clerk Carolyn Byford said only 125 people had voted on the absentee machine in her office.
Another 12,716 people statewide had voted absentee by mail, according to a report from The Associated Press. Tuesday was the deadline to request a mail-in ballot.
Byford said only 32 mail-in ballots had been requested from her office. Those ballots must be returned by 6 p.m. Election Day.
Perhaps a sign of a lower-than-expected turnout for this year's voting, Byford said she has sent out upward of 100 mail-in ballots for past elections.
Byford said it costs the same to put on an election if 3,000 or only 300 people vote in the county. She said the most recent cost of an election was about $14,000 to the county.

Contractor continues demolition of bridge
The contractor working to demolish the old Ledbetter Bridge at Paducah is continuing efforts to tear down and remove the remains of the once proud structure.
Today, a demolition crew worked to remove the final remnants of three west approach spans that collapsed due to land movement back in June. A trackhoe mounted with a shear was cutting up remaining pieces of steel from the approaches on the McCracken County side of the Tennessee River. Another trackhoe with a large jackhammer attached was busy breaking up two huge concrete piers that were brought down by the massive movement of land along the McCracken County shoreline.
The contractor has a goal of having the site cleared by Dec. 1. However, when the last steel truss section over the Tennessee River main navigation channel was detonated Oct. 1, the blast rocked over the piers that held it up, causing damage to the concrete structures. The contractor had planned to place a platform on the piers, drill them for placement of explosives, then bring them down with a series of controlled detonations. But, cracks left in the piers raised safety questions about the drilling process.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers and the company are continuing to work on several viable options for removing the in-water piers, but it may be several weeks before a plan is fully developed and approved. Meanwhile, the contractor has continued conventional demolition of the approach spans.
The contractor is required to give the U.S. Coast Guard 15 days advance notice before demolition can start on the river-based piers.
The old Ledbetter Bridge went into service in 1931. In January 2012 it had to be restricted to a 3-ton load limit.
Completion of the new U.S. 60 Tennessee River Bridge at Ledbetter was expedited and traffic flow moved to the new structure on July 31, 2013.
Today, a demolition crew worked to remove the final remnants of three west approach spans that collapsed due to land movement back in June. A trackhoe mounted with a shear was cutting up remaining pieces of steel from the approaches on the McCracken County side of the Tennessee River. Another trackhoe with a large jackhammer attached was busy breaking up two huge concrete piers that were brought down by the massive movement of land along the McCracken County shoreline.
The contractor has a goal of having the site cleared by Dec. 1. However, when the last steel truss section over the Tennessee River main navigation channel was detonated Oct. 1, the blast rocked over the piers that held it up, causing damage to the concrete structures. The contractor had planned to place a platform on the piers, drill them for placement of explosives, then bring them down with a series of controlled detonations. But, cracks left in the piers raised safety questions about the drilling process.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers and the company are continuing to work on several viable options for removing the in-water piers, but it may be several weeks before a plan is fully developed and approved. Meanwhile, the contractor has continued conventional demolition of the approach spans.
