{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes left this weekend for a weeklong trip to the Middle East, where she will be part of a group of U.S. officials reviewing military voting procedures. Grimes will get a firsthand look at how ballots are delivered to troops so that they can be returned to the United States in time to be counted. Last month, the secretary of state's office reached a court settlement that gave troops more time to vote by absentee ballots ahead of the November 6th general election.
