Rhonda Palazzo has discovered she must pay $375,000 to recount her Third District Congressional Race of about 35,000 votes.

The "supposed" winning votes for his opponent were in that precinct and the Jefferson County Board of Elections demanded $8300 to recount 130 ballots. The judge ruled for the Board of Elections.
And, just imagine, COVID vaccines for kids under 5 could soon be available in Kentucky.
