A lawsuit that claims there was vote fraud in Magoffin County during the November election will go to trial  starting January 7th. The attorney for outgoing Sheriff Bob Jordan and Judge-Executive candidate John Montgomery says candidates, Charles "Doc" Hardin and Carson Montgomery, bought votes, but both Hardin and Montgomery say they're innocent of any wrongdoing.  The attorney for Sheriff Jordan and John Montgomery says they have 84 witnesses lined up who say there was vote buying. Judge Engle set a pre-trial conference for January 4th in Perry County. This is a bench trial, so there will be no jury.
