Alison Grimes to sue Mitch McConnell, state GOP [View all]

Alison Lundergan Grimes' campaign said it has filed suit in Franklin Circuit Court alleging that the the Republican Party of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell are trying to suppress voter turnout in Eastern Kentucky where it sent official-looking mailers that say "Election Violation Notice" on the envelope.

The mailer warns, "You are at risk of acting on fraudulent information" that the mailer said is being disseminated to voters.

Jonathan Hurst, Grimes' campaign manager, said the Grimes campaign has been receiving phone calls from voters in Eastern Kentucky worried that they will be violating the law if they go to the polls next Tuesday.

"This is clearly a scare tactic and what they are doing to try to manipulate voters," he said.
