Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams speaks to the moderator before an interview in Lexington, Ky., Monday, May 8, 2023. Adams still doesn't have a clear path for reelection despite winning bipartisan praise during his first term in office and expanding voter access during the COVID-19 pandemic. He now must persuade Republican primary voters who have been bombarded for years with false claims about rigged elections. (AP Photo/Timothy D. Easley)
