On Tuesday, Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams said his office had been receiving some unusual calls: Residents were confused about why the polls were closed. He explained on Twitter (X) that the polls were not open because Kentucky did not have any elections this year. “You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia,” he said, adding, “Sorry.”
Granted, there were some smaller elections all throughout the country — for instance, the City of Cincinnati, which sits right across the border from Kentucky, had a mayoral election. But the belief that elections of national importance were taking place yesterday is simply evidence of a psychosis in American politics brought about by the nationalization of our political process.
