A 'blue wave'? Kentucky voter registration stats say no
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — When President Donald Trump speaks, and tweets, Amy Evans can't help but cringe.
Yet the 68-year-old longtime registered Democrat in central Kentucky recently switched her voter registration to the Republican Party. Although Trump's controversies have Democrats dreaming of a "blue wave" in November, Evans said she tunes out the president's words and has no regrets about switching parties.
"I don't read his tweets. I really like what he has done," she said. "There are a lot of people just like me. We're not vocal; we just follow our hearts. We follow what we feel is right."
Evans is one of thousands of Kentucky voters who have switched their registrations to Republican in recent years.
