On October 14-15, the Federalist Society's Kentucky lawyers chapters hosted their annual conference via online webinars. The first panel of the conference covered "Issues in Election Law and Election Integrity."
During the 2020 session of the General Assembly, the state’s legislature enacted measures designed to promote election integrity, culminating in SB 2—the state’s voter ID law. That law is currently being litigated, but is otherwise poised to be in effect for the November 2020 general election. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kentucky shifted the date of its primary election and conducted the primary almost entirely by absentee ballot. This panel will address each of these issues along with expectations for the general election in November, both in terms of election procedures and election law issues likely to emerge.

On October 14-15, the Federalist Society's Kentucky lawyers chapters hosted their annual conference via online webinars. The topic of the second panel was "COVID-19 and Constitutional Law."
The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has largely been driven by each state’s governor. Governors across the country—including in Kentucky—have issued a series of executive orders in the name of public health to combat the spread of the virus. These executive orders, however, often conflict with ordinary application of both separation of powers and ordinary constitutional liberties, including when and where individuals may exercise their First Amendment rights to worship and assemble, along with substantial economic pressures. Several of these orders have been challenged in state and federal courts. This panel explores the scope of a governor’s unilateral authority in responding to public health emergencies, and how those powers interact with the state and federal constitutions.
