Is the GOP in Ky, scared old Mitchy boys time may be ending? Appears to be. Alison Lundergan Grimes’ U.S. Senate campaign said it has filed suit in Franklin Circuit Court alleging that the Republican Party of Kentucky is trying to suppress voter turnout in Eastern Kentucky, where it sent official-looking mailers that say “Election Violation Notice” on the envelope, and is asking for a criminal investigation into voter intimidation. “This is clearly a scare tactic, and what they are doing to try to manipulate voters,” said Jonathan Hurst, Grimes’ campaign manager. U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Louisville, called the mailer “despicable” and said that it was “sheer desperation” on the part of Sen. Mitch McConnell during an interview on MSNBC’s All in With Chris Hayes. According to The Courier-Journal, Hurst, Grimes’ campaign manager, said the campaign believes the mailer may violate criminal voter suppression law and has asked Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway to investigate the matter. The Grimes campaign has issued the following statement: McConnell himself authorized Kentucky GOP to launch despicable mailers designed to intimidate Kentuckians from exercising their right to vote. THE GOP IS CAPABLE OF ANYTHING, ANYTHING!!!!!
