Click on headline for complete story By Bradford Queen News from Secretary State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky FRANKFORT, KY (22 Nov 2016) - The State Board of Elections on Tuesday certified vote totals from the November 8, 2016, general election and issued certificates of election to candidates who received the highest number of votes, completing the official administration process of the statewide election. Detailed official results are available at GoVoteKY.com. Approximately 1.95 million Kentuckians, 59% percent of registered voters, cast ballots in the general election, said Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's chief election official. "Our election administrators - more than 15,000 across Kentucky, including the State Board of Elections, county boards of elections, county clerks, and precinct election officers - are the backbone of this process, and again, they led a successful election," said Grimes. "I am deeply grateful for their hard work and dedication to ensuring our elections run efficiently and fairly." Grimes announced that the Meeting of Presidential Electors will be held on December 19 at 11:30amET at the Supreme Court Room, Supreme Court of Kentucky State Capitol, Room 235, 700 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY. The electors cast the official votes of Kentucky for President and Vice President of the United States. The Kentucky Election Integrity Task Force also met Tuesday to review the administration of the election. The members, which include U.S. Attorney's offices, the FBI, the Kentucky Attorney General's office, and Kentucky State Police, said the high-profile election was largely free from issue or problems. Law enforcement officials are currently reviewing election complaints they have received to determine which may merit further investigation. Grimes chairs the task force, which she brought together for the first time in 2012. Pursuant to Kentucky law, the Office of the Attorney General will randomly select six counties in which it will conduct a post-election audit. The drawing was scheduled for Tuesday. The State Board of Elections led a post-election meeting of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Advisory Committee to assess current voting processes and discuss possible improvements. Kentucky is one of the few states in the nation which conducts regular meetings in accordance with the federal voting law passed in 2002. "I have been a committed advocate for making sure every Kentuckian - especially those with disabilities - are able to cast their ballots independently and in private," said Grimes. "Voting is a cherished right, and I'm proud to help preserve it for all citizens." Grimes continues to push for legislation that would make it easier for persons who qualify by age, disability, and illness to vote absentee in-person. The proposal enjoys the support of disability advocates and has the recommendation of the HAVA Advisory Committee. This story was posted on 2016-11-23 08:36:18
