County Lines Mess Up Voter IDs | Louisville News

Jefferson County Clerk David Yates is in a legal and political pickle as hundreds of voters—many who’ve lived, paid taxes, and voted in counties like Oldham and Bullitt for years—are suddenly being reclassified as Louisville Metro residents due to a new, ultra-precise state map that clashes with old county agreements. With the November election looming, Yates is asking a judge to intervene, arguing these changes cause chaos and violate “no taxation without representation,” especially since 211 of those affected live in a subdivision literally straddling the border. Compounding the issue, the Clerk’s office is also grappling with a separate audit revealing up to 1,800 households misassigned to wrong precincts, risking voter disenfranchisement in critical local races.
