Kentucky League of Women Voters Excludes Independent from Debate on Basis of Poll, Yet No Poll was Ever Conducted that Mentioned Her

According to this article, the Kentucky League of Women Voters is hosting a debate for candidates for Lieutenant Governor on September 23. Three candidates are on the ballot, a Democrat, a Republican, and an independent, Heather Curtis.

The League says no one can be in its debate who didn’t register at 10% in the polls. However, no poll has ever been taken since Heather Curtis entered the race. The last poll was in July, before she and her gubernatorial running mate had submitted their ballot access petition. Her running mate was included in the last gubernatorial debate, because the sponsors of the gubernatorial debate were not so obtuse as to rely on a poll that didn’t mention all three candidates.
