Clinton's friend in charge of KY vote count

Wolf Blitzer on CNN just said that Kentucky's Secretary of State (Alison Lundergan Grimes), the person ultimately responsible for counting the votes in today's primary, has been a friend of the Clintons since she was a girl, and that she has campaigned alongside Hillary for the Democratic nomination for President in recent weeks.

Make of it what you may.

Who just a few days ago declared that getting Clinton elected is more important than doing her job as elections chair?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Kentucky’s election fraud hotline logged 76 complaints and questions from 31 counties at the close of voting in Tuesday's primaries, Attorney General Andy Beshear’s office said.

There were 25 calls from Jefferson County, including questions about a voting machine and complaints about vote buying and electioneering within 100 feet of a polling place. Kentucky law prohibits handing out candidate literature, displaying signs or other campaign-related activities near polls on an election day.

Four of the six calls about vote buying came from Breathitt County in southeastern Kentucky. There was one report of "disrupting polls" in Louisville.

Beshear’s office doesn’t provide details of the complaints, but statistics show that this year’s primary election generated nearly five times as many calls than the 16 received during last May’s primary.
