Election officials from Kentucky counties and the state say they need more money to increase the technical capacity for voter data verification. After an LPM News investigation, lawmakers say they’re interested in learning more.

LPM News uncovered that voters from more than 1,800 households may have cast incorrect ballots due to an error by the Jefferson County Clerk’s office. In some instances, this affected where they voted and which representatives they were able to vote for.
