Alison Grimes Sues Mitch McConnell Over 'Despicable' Voter Mailers
Talking Point Memo ^ | 11/1/2014 | Sahil Kapur

Posted on 11/01/2014 5:47:34 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

The campaign of Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes has filed a lawsuit to stop Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell's campaign from distributing a mailer that it says amounts to illegal voter intimidation tactics.

The Grimes campaign on Friday said it had filed for an immediate injunction with the state court in Franklin County, which is where the state capital is located.

The campaign is calling for a state and federal investigation of the mailers that say they're authorized by the Kentucky Republican Party and the McConnell Senate campaign. The legal filing by the Grimes campaign can be read below, first reported by TPM.

"Of all the terrible things Mitch McConnell has done during this 30 year career in Washington, this last-ditch campaign he authorized to intimidate Kentuckians and prevent them from exercising their right to vote is unquestionably his most despicable," Grimes campaign manager Jonathan Hurst said.

The mailers have the words "ELECTION VIOLATION NOTICE" sprawled at the top and attack Grimes for spreading "fraudulent" information.

The McConnell campaign and the Kentucky Republican Party have not returned queries from TPM regarding the mailers.

Only someone with a dirty conscious would worry about something like that.

Sounds like she’s taking a page from Barky’s playbook.

so the tv commercials that show cops pulling over drunks (as an aside, I might add all white males), are drunk driver intimidation tactics. using that logic.

Sorry, sounds to me like agitprop.

Democrat prints these up and spreads them in a small area.

Media grabs this as proof that Pubbies are crooks, even though they know that a dem pushed them.

From other stories at that site, they’re still buzzing about the “Palin brawl” on the left. Need to stoke up the hate somehow I guess.

I had a family member volunteer to be an election judge, poll worker in a heavily Demon Rat area.

Got a letter from the DEMOCRAT PARTY in the same area a few days before the election that basically threatened them....saying the Democrat party will scrutinize any poll worker who, in their words, unfairly inhibited a citizen’s right to vote....

She has a low opinion of the citizens of her state if she thinks any political mailer is intimidating to them. She really thinks they are that weak and stupid? I have stacks of the stuff. Oooooo I’m so scared to vote now.

Crazy lady. Democrats think lawsuits solve all their problems.

Of course, shes doesn’t try to refute anything the mailer says.
