If passed, the new law would require cooperation from the jail and the Jefferson County Board of Elections.

The 30-year-old has been charged with the delay or destruction of mail, which is a federal crime. 

The ballots were discovered late Thursday morning by a contractor renovating a home near Tully Elementary School on Galene Drive.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, this year's election will look a lot different. Many voters are counting on absentee ballots to cast their vote in order to avoid crowds at the polls.

Early voting, from Oct. 13 to Nov. 2, will be available at the Kentucky Exposition Center, Kentucky Center for African American Heritage, KFC Yum! Center and the Louisville Marriott East.

Indiana voters have until Oct. 22 to request an absentee ballot, which must be received by their county clerk's office no later than 12 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3, to be counted.

Secretary of State Michael Adams said people who are worried about COVID-19 can vote by mail and should request a ballot as possible.
