No Action On Homeless Voter Registration Complaint

{ Kentucky}...The Executive Branch Ethics Commission has decided to take no action on a complaint filed in August by Bill Johnson, Republican candidate for secretary of state, over voter registration of homeless people. Johnson says John Steffen, executive director of the ethics commission, told him the panel lacks jurisdiction to consider his complaint against Secretary of State Elaine Walker and the State Board of Elections. Johnson contended in his complaint that Walker and the elections board are violating the Kentucky Constitution by allowing people who don't have addresses to register to vote. He said the elections board was wrong when it notified county clerks on June 30th that they could register voters who have no addresses. The board said applications should be approved if they have "homeless" or "place to place" listed as addresses. Walker is chairman of the board.
