· Source: LexBot 24/7 Livestream

From LexBot twenty-four seven, a Louisville Democrat has dropped out of a state House primary race following the release of a doorbell camera video. The footage reportedly showed candidate Max Morley removing a campaign flyer from someone's mailbox, which raised concerns about interfering with election mail. Morley had been one of three candidates seeking to challenge an embattled Republican incumbent in the primary. After the video came to light, he announced he was ending his campaign. The incident serves as a reminder that election-related mail, including campaign materials delivered to mailboxes, is protected under federal postal regulations. Details about any potential legal consequences for Morley have not yet been confirmed. We will continue to follow this story as it develops. That's your local update from LexBot twenty-four seven, keeping you informed around the clock right here in the Bluegrass.
