The Office of the Attorney General has been busy this election day tracking complaints, taking questions, and investigating suspected election fraud.
It all takes place at the Election Integrity Command Center in Frankfort.
“We want to show Kentuckians that we take voter fraud seriously,” says Attorney General Russell Coleman. “We take election integrity seriously. ”
That’s the message Attorney General Russell Coleman wanted to stress during Tuesday morning’s press conference at the center.
Investigators, prosecutors, and staff with the Office of the Attorney General operate the Election Fraud Hotline.
As of 10 a.m., Tuesday morning, the center had received 156 reports from 32 counties.
Most of those reports, stemming from technical issues at several Jefferson County polling locations.
“I can’t provide a greater view of what occurred other then it was resolved as quickly as possible and folks were back voting and that is resolved now. I do understand that it took place at multiple polls. It wasn’t simply one voting location,” explains Coleman.
