Complaint Against Secretary Of State Dismissed

• {Kentucky}...Secretary of State Elaine Walker says she was notified Monday by letter that the Executive Branch Ethics Commission has dismissed a complaint filed against her for allowing homeless people to register to vote without listing a personal address. Republican Bill Johnson, a candidate for secretary of state, filed the complaint last month, contending that Walker and the State Board of Elections are violating the law by allowing people without addresses to vote. Walker says federal law requires that people not be denied the right to vote simply because they don't live in traditional dwellings. Johnson says the ethics commission decision was based on a lack of jurisdiction.
