On election night republican candidates swept the 2021 special elections to fill three vacant seats in the Kentucky General Assembly.

The vacancies included Senate District 22, previously held by Tom Buford who passed away in July, House District 51, previously held by John “Bam” Carney who passed away in July, and House District 89, previously held by Robert Goforth who resigned in August.

Republican Dr. Donald Douglas won the election for Senate District 22, representing Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Mercer, and Washington counties.

Michael ‘Sarge’ Pollock won the election for House District 51, representing Taylor and Adair counties.

Timmy Truett won the election for House District 89, representing Jackson, Laurel, and Madison counties.

Although notably one was a black candidate (Dr. Donald Douglas - now a State Senator) - his election being another example of “white supremacy”, I’m sure.

Yes....but......

We have a part time legislature. That’s good in most ways. But we also have a full time corrupt power mad governor. So King Andy runs amock most of the year and the legislature can’t do squat until it convenes in January. And Baby Doc Beshear takes full advantage of that.

Add to that, when the legislature finally goes into session and passes laws to reign in the tinpot despot, a corrupt state supreme court usually steps in and rules against legally passed laws and in favor of illegal “executive orders”.

Dominion voting machines were not used, that’s how Adolf Andy got elected governor.
