I called the Kentucky Sec. of State office this morning....oh my! [View all]

I called to tell them I was disappointed in the outcome/integrity of the election under Alison Grimes. I said it did not matter who I support. What matters is that she made a comment it was 'her job' to deliver Kentucky to Hillary Clinton, and then last night she stated she had "glitches". Then they accidentally zeroed out Pike County! Once you do that, you cannot accept electronic numbers, without verifying with a larger audit. Or full count of the county. I told her I felt Alison failed at her job, and it was awful on the heels of MA, IL, AZ, NY, DE, NV, MD, AND NOW KY. As in K-Y shenanigans!

Here is what I was told. "We do not talk about elections, and you must call the Kentucky Democratic Party." I replied, "But Alison does talk about elections, as it's her job! "Not really the deliver part for Hillary, but she came out and told us she had glitches and Pike County was zeroed out. She is in charge of the election in the entire state! Of course she speaks on elections!
She replied, "this is a Kentucky Democratic Party issue, and you must call them."

I replied "the job of the Kentucky Democratic Party is to GOTV. Once the voters enter your voting space, they are your responsibility. Not 'the party'. Why would I call them? It's NOT their issue! Again, I stated they get the voters to come out to vote, but what happens while voting, and counting the vote, is up to the state, not the party! She again replied, "it's the democratic party, and you must call them."

I said thank you, I will, and I'm also now glad Alison is not a U.S. senator. This is a glimpse of her lack of accountability and passing a buck. Please tell her I said so.

Then I called the Kentucky Democratic Party.

Ohhhh my. The lady on the phone was very nice and calm. She was stunned that I was told by the Sec. of States office in KY, to contact them. I told her what I said about who's job is what, and once people go into vote, the 'party' has nothing to do with the outcomes, glitches, or zeroing out of counties by mistake! She said of course!

So I said, well, I want to know exactly what happened, and what is being done about it under Kentucky state law. She said, "but you already know that we can't answer that, it's up to Alison Grimes and the state law." I then said my real purpose was to call and make them aware of Alison's office passing me off to them.
They didn't like it at all.
She told me she was contacting them right away to ask why in the world they are telling people they can't talk about elections, when that is their job, and why are they telling people to call the Kentucky Democratic Party???

Feel free to see if it did any good. Call Alison Grimes office and ask how it's going, and how they are rectifying it all.
