Trey Grayson is currently Kentucky’s secretary of state. Under the law, this makes him the chairman of Kentucky’s board of elections. Considering that Grayson is running for Senate, it makes sense that he should not be involved in overseeing the vote counts for this particular race. However, when asked by one of his opponents if he was willing to refrain from supervising his own election results, the Trey Grayson campaign had the following reply:
“Secretary Grayson is a national leader in elections reform who has received broad, bipartisan support for his commonsense ideas that make our elections more secure, more accessible, and more honest. This political request is absurd and blatantly self-serving.”
Instead of recognizing the conflict of interest and giving an evenhanded response, the Grayson campaign came off looking caustic and arrogant. This was a reasonable request, and Trey should have done the honorable thing and recused himself from overseeing his election results.

Failing to recuse himself from his duty in this situation is going to make Trey Grayson look very stupid. This really is a no brainer.
When I clicked on “Trey Grayson’s Conflict of Interest”, I didn’t expect much, but this is unbelievable!
Worthy of a story here?

Damn right it’s worth a story !
I’ve now crossed Grayson off of my list (this is a great site, btw). I will now be supporting that other guy, Bill Johnson.
I will support Rand Paul or even Bill Johnson. But NO WAY am I supporting Trey Grayson!
Watching the debates today, I have to wonder if Bill Johnson is on Trey’s payroll. They sure seemed quite the team walking off the stage together.
