Light turnout so far reported. Attorney General Beshear (any Kentuckians -- is that the former governor or another Beshear?) has reported some complaints about electioneering within 100 feet of a polling location.

Kentucky Secretary of State spokesman Bradford Queen says say voter turnout has been slow since polls opened on a cool, rainy election day.

The top race on Tuesday’s ballot for Democrats is the presidential primary between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Republicans held a presidential caucus in March, which was won by Donald Trump. Other major races on the primary ballot include seats for U.S. House, U.S. Senate and the state House.

Also of note, Rand Paul is facing a (largely hopeless) primary challenge, and Democrats are choosing among a slate led by Lexington mayor Jim Gray to challenge him.

The polls go until 6pm local time (and Kentucky is one of those states in two time zones) but state law requires anyone in line by 6 be allowed to vote.

1. I also heard no exit polling data so we wont really know anything until the votes start coming in.

3. Yeah, no news orgs wanted to put any money into it; they've already gone to GE mode

Plus an "exit poll" in OR is by definition impossible, so we'll (gasp) have to wait for actual vote counts...

5. HA... actual vote counts!

How will we deal with this!!

6. I don't know, however, if the eastern half of the state sits on their actual results until the west

finishes voting. Any Kentuckians know?

7. I think so. Look like CNN not showing anything until 7.

2. Hilllary voters staying home

it is raining.

4. Could be. Light turnout tends to favor her though.

We'll see.
