{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is suing over the absentee ballot process for military and overseas voters. Grimes says Kentucky law currently doesn't provide enough time for those overseas to vote and is inconsistent with federal requirements. A statement from Grimes' office Friday said the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Voting Act requires states to send the ballot no later than 45 days before an election, or within three days of receiving the request, while Kentucky law allows candidates in special elections to file up to 28 days before the vote.
