The Kentucky deadline for presidential candidates to file for a presidential primary was January 10. Candidates get on the ballot by paying a filing fee and meeting one of these three requirements: (1) qualified for primary season matching funds; (2) already on the presidential primary of 20 other states; (3) submitting 5,000 signatures. Thanks to Jim Riley for this addition.

The Democratic ballot will list Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, Deval Patrick, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer, Elizabeth Warren, and Andrew Yang (13 names).

The only name on the Republican ballot is President Donald Trump. See the list here.

Kentucky requires the physical home address for this list, and that address is included for each candidate.

In 2017, a U.S. District Court in Florida ruled that the state’s procedures for ex-felons to ask the Governor to restore their voting rights violates due process, because it gave the Governor complete discretion, with no objective standards. The state appealed and got the opinion stayed.

On January 10, 2020, the Eleventh Circuit said the case is moot, and terminated it. The opinion says that in November 2018, when Florida voters passed a constitutional amendment ending ex-felon disenfranchisement for most crimes, the law changed so drastically that the Hand case doesn’t matter any more.

On January 13, the U.S. Supreme Court released the list of actions taken at the January 10 conference. Although both cases involving “disobedient” presidential electors were on the January 10 conference, the Court did not act on either of them. They will be considered again at the January 17 conference. The two cases are Colorado Department of State v Baca, 19-518; and Chiafalo v Washington State, 19-465.
