Grimes Returns From Weeklong Mission

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes has returned from a weeklong mission to the Middle East where she was part of a group of U.S. officials reviewing military voting procedures, while they visited Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. Last month, her staffers reached a court settlement that gave deployed troops from Kentucky more time to vote by absentee ballots ahead of the November 6th general election. Grimes has scheduled a press conference for 10:00 A.M. EDT Wednesday to recommend ways to improve the voting process for soldiers.
