Attorney General Daniel Cameron and Secretary of State Michael Adams have formed a team of election officials, law enforcement professionals and others to monitor the 2020 primary election and investigate and deter vote fraud.
The Ballot Integrity Task Force brings key stakeholders in the electoral process and criminal justice system together to ensure ballot integrity.

Added Cameron: “We are charged with investigating and prosecuting any election law violations that occur during the upcoming primary. The formation of the Ballot Integrity Task Force by Secretary Adams will assist us in these efforts and ensures an open line of communication among our state and federal partners.
“In light of changes to the process resulting from COVID-19, the integrity of our election has never been more important, and I appreciate the shared commitment of each of the task force members.”
Daniel Cameron
Particular attention will be paid to jurisdictions hosting competitive elections for local office, which, unlike Kentucky’s statewide or congressional races, occasionally have proved vulnerable to election offenses in recent history.
The Ballot Integrity Task Force is made up of the Attorney General’s Office, the Secretary of State’s Office, the State Board of Elections, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices for Kentucky’s Eastern and Western Districts, the Kentucky State Police, the U.S. Postal Service, the Kentucky Department of Homeland Security, and the Kentucky Army National Guard.
From Office of the Secretary of State
Just what we need! With an ongoing pandemic and cities across the nation, including Louisville, Ky, exploding in violence and riots over police brutality against minority populations, we have a committee to prevent a problem that doesn’t exist and hasn’t ever existed. Secretary of State Micheal Adams could not identity one instance of voter fraud when testifying to a Legislative committee to promote a totally useless law to prevent voter fraud and now we have a committee to make sure that something that hasn’t happened won’t happen. Can anybody in the screwed up state legislature of Kentucky spell “priorities”?
Just what we need! Honesty and integrity. Not voter fraud I am worried about, it’s the elected officials, governor, managers in charge of voting that manage to hack, fix, cheat and rig the system in their favor (Racist Republicans) who don’t want people of color to vote. These sickos throw, shred and delete votes from hard working people. The Georgia system praises its ability to fight voter fraud but election day people standing in lines miles long and machines don’t work. Racism exists in the voting system. Gross.
