On this week’s episode of Northern Kentucky’s podcast “The Kentucky Side with Michael Monks”:
We are just weeks away from the May primary election in Kentucky, our first time casting ballots since the pandemic election year of 2020. COVID worries and restrictions offered expanded access to voting that year, but in 2022 that won’t be the case. We talk with the Kenton and Campbell County clerks about voting in this year’s election and their feelings about the way some members of the public feel about the integrity of our electoral process.
And after 72 years, expanded details from the 1950 U.S. Census will be made available this week. That’s big news for genealogists and researchers. The Kenton County Public Library is among the organizations celebrating the release. We talk about why it’s so important.
The Kentucky Side is released every Tuesday and is recorded at Northern Kentucky University. The show is hosted by Michael Monks and produced by Cam Miller.
