RECORD TURNOUT POSSIBLE
The polls have opened on what could be a record-setting election day in Kentucky. Les Fugate, a spokesman for the Kentucky Secretary of State's office, said turnout on Tuesday is predicted to be 65-70 percent. A record 2.9 million Kentuckians are registered to vote, up from about 2.8 million people in the 2004 presidential election. That year, nearly 65 percent of them voted, according to the State Board of Elections. Fugate says if turnout matches expectations, it would mean a record number of voters took part in the election. Also, voters in 34 counties will use new "eScan" voting machines, which give users a verified paper record of their selections, for the first time in a general election this year.
