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.

Grimes the commie knows all about lying ads.
This is a distinction without much of a difference but the mailers were sent out by the Republican Party of Kentucky, not the McConnell campaign.
Anyway, how can you sue to stop them from sending out something that has already arrived in people’s mailboxes?
And mailer merely highlights that Grimes ads have been complete lies - the Grimes campaign finds it “despicable” to point out the fact they were lying.
Hopefully next year a good candidate will step up to remove her from her current office - which she is also not qualified for.
Judge will throw her out on summary judgment on the grounds her claim is moot since the election is over!
That is unless she went to a pet dim judge.

IOW, Mitch called her on her lies.
