TODD COUNTY IS AMONG FIVE OTHER COUNTIES IN KENTUCKY THAT WERE CHOSEN RANDOMLY THIS AFTERNOON TO UNDERGO INDEPENDENT INQUIRIES FOR ANY POTENTIAL IRREGULARITIES THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8^TH.

            ATTORNEY GENERAL JACK CONWAY ANNOUNCED TODAY IN ADDITION TO TODD COUNTY… CASEY, BREATHITT, DAVIESS, LIVINGSTON AND GARRARD COUNTIES WILL ALSO BE UNDERGOING THE INDEPENDENT INQUIRY.

            ACCORDING TO CONWAY, THESE AUDITS WILL ENSURE THAT VOTERS IN EVERY KENTUCKY COUNTY ENCOUNTERED PROCEDURES AT POLLING PLACES THAT ARE FAIR AND EQUITABLE.

            THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THERE WAS ONE ALLEGATION OF VOTE-BUYING IN MAGOFFIN COUNTY THAT WAS REPORTED BEFORE ELECTION DAY AND 25 COMPLAINTS WERE PLACED FROM 16 COUNTIES DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 8^TH.

            SPECIFICS OF THOSE COMPLAINTS CAN NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL AN OFFICIAL REVIEW TAKES PLACE.
