Election-Fraud Hotline Receives Fewer Calls
KENTUCKY....
According to Attorney General Jack Conway's office, the state election-fraud hotline received far fewer calls during Tuesday's primary election than during the last election. Between 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Tuesday there were 116 calls from 43 counties, down from 350 in the 2006 primary. There were 24 calls to the hotline in the 2007 primary and 63 in the May 2008 election. The number typically goes up in years with races for judge-executive, sheriff and other local offices, partly because many more candidates are seeking office. In Perry County, Hazard businessman Pearl Combs Jr., 57, was arrested on a charge of vote buying.
