(11,023 posts)This has a lot of details on the voting at the lone polling place. It isn't good - about a 2 hour wait at one point, but it's not nearly as bad as Georgia was.
Apparently the site they are using is HUGE - and they're very organized.

(9,654 posts)6:00 p.m.: Democratic U.S. Senate Candidate Charles Booker has filed an injunction in Jefferson County Circuit Court, seeking to keep polls open in Louisville until 9pm. A spokesman for the campaign said Booker was filing the motion because there is currently a long line of cars waiting to get into the Kentucky Expo Center, the countys only in-person election day polling place. Despite that injunction, the doors to the Expo Center closed at 6:00.
