{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is predicting that up to 90 percent of Kentucky's voters will skip Tuesday's primary election. Grimes says early voting has been minimal so far, a sure sign that interest is lagging. Based on that and other indicators, Grimes predicted turnout at between 10 and 12 percent. Grimes says the lack of interest among Kentucky's nearly 3 million voters has to do with the already sewn-up Republican presidential primary, as well as limited opposition for congressional and legislative seats that are up for election this year.Thursday, May 17, 2012
