Vote today: An ultimate price was paid for the right It is a duty - as well as a right By Joe Hare Commentary I sure do hope everybody gets out and votes today. I know there is not a lot of races for us to bother with, but we must remember it is our right and duty. It is one of our freedoms that we have, due to the ultimate price so many have made over the years, that we will be remembering this weekend.

Donahue, or Chris Girdler. Two candidates, Adair Countian Hilda Legg and Casey Countian Todd Hoskins, have withdrawn. Two others do not live in district and votes will not be counted for them. Polston has backing of Senator McGaha and has been endorsed by Todd Hoskins. His campaign is seen as stronger in Adair, Casey, and Russell Counties. Chris Girdler has had the most campaign money to spend and is seen stronger in Pulaski County. Local Circuit Court race in Russell County should add to vote total there. Local races in Pulaski, too. By Ed Waggener Today is an important day: It's primary election day in Kentucky.

With the selection of state and local officials, there are important personal, partisan, and political reasons to go to the polls today. Even if for purely pragmatic reasons, the level of voting is a a metric of the values of the, as much as educational attainment, financial, and health measurements are used in critiques of locales.
