Kentucky Attorney General's office wraps up 2024 post-election investigations in counties, among them an examination in Campbell County.
In the aftermath of the 2024 General Election, the Kentucky Attorney General's Department of Criminal Investigations (DCI) conducted inquiries in 12 randomly selected counties, including Barren, Metcalfe, and Edmonson. The findings from these inquiries, presented by Attorney General Russell Coleman to the Kentucky State Board of Elections, revealed no credible instances of election law irregularities or violations across the counties examined.
The Election Fraud Hotline, a service provided by the Attorney General's Office, played a crucial role during the election. The hotline, which operates year-round, received more than 700 messages during the 2024 General Election, with nearly 350 messages coming in on Election Day.
Kentucky law directs the Attorney General to randomly select 12 counties for an independent inquiry following an election. The counties selected for the 2024 General Election inquiry were Barren, Boyle, Calloway, Campbell, Daviess, Edmonson, Jefferson, Jessamine, Lincoln, Metcalfe, Trigg, and Warren. However, it's important to note that the DCI did not specify Campbell County among the counties under investigation.
Attorney General Coleman emphasised that Kentuckians can have confidence that their Commonwealth's elections are free, fair, and secure. He also expressed his gratitude to all county clerks, poll workers, and volunteers who made it possible for Kentuckians to exercise their most fundamental right.
The DCI conducted inquiries into the election processes of all selected counties and found no irregularities. These findings were presented to grand juries by the Special Prosecutions Unit. The Attorney General's Office activates the Election Integrity Command Center before elections and increases staffing for the Election Fraud Hotline. The hotline receives messages leading up to Kentuckians heading to the polls.
