Goebel election law repealed amid November election plan
In Frankfort Kentucky October 28 the legislature repealed the Goebel election law but left a new election framework.

County boards will be named by the state board with party representation and a sheriff acting as umpire. The new setup shifts control and preserves an impartial role for the attorney general amid prior concerns over minority representation and court powers.
