Community Education:
Lex Talk About: Voting was held June 3rd

Experts included: Jennifer Lai-Peterson, a voting rights attorney and former union and community organizer; Josh Douglas, a professor at UK’s College of Law and author of Vote for US: How to Take Back our Elections and Change the Future of Voting; and Former Secretary of State Trey Greyson, Managing Director of Frost Brown Todd’s government relations affiliate, CivicPoint.
