As Kentucky GOP numbers have grown, 25 counties still have more registered Democrats
While Republicans have been gaining more members through Kentucky voter registration in the last few years, Democrats still hold the registration edge in some Kentucky counties.
Democrats have an advantage in 25 counties, according to June voter registration numbers: Bath, Breathitt, Carroll, Elliot, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Fulton, Henderson, Jefferson, Knott, Letcher, Magoffin, Marion, Menifee, Morgan, Muhlenberg, Nicholas, Perry, Robertson, Rowan, Todd, Union, Webster and Wolfe counties.
The Kentucky State Board of Elections typically publishes a report of current voter registration statistics on the first of the month.
Some of this can be leftover from the “old coalition that has just held on in many counties” from when Democrats were the majority party in the Bluegrass State, said Nicholas Hazelett, the chair of the Johnson County Democratic Party. He also helps with voter registration efforts throughout Eastern Kentucky.
