Kentucky Voter Fraud

By KPR

Frankfort, KY – Kentucky's top election official and its top prosecutor are standing tall against election fraud in the upcoming May 18th primary. Secretary of State Trey Grayson and Attorney General Jack Conway say their offices are joining forces to ensure a clean election. Grayson says, unfortunately, the state has a national reputation of voter fraud.

"But in recent years, we've taken a lot of steps to tackle this issue. The main reason for that is that the office of Secretary of State, State Board of Elections, the county clerks, the office of the Attorney General and the U.S. Attorney's offices have worked together to combat the scourge of our democratic process."

The attorney general's office has set up a voter fraud hotline to receive Election Day complaints. The number to call is 1-800-328-VOTE. All complaints will be referred to proper authorities.
