As everyone with a mailbox knows, the closing few days of an election are when candidates unleash a last minute barrage of direct mail designed to grab the voters’ attention and hold it until they go to the polls on Tuesday. Depending on who is developing your campaign materials, these can range from clever and highly effective parting shots to useless or even offensive junk mail which can backfire on you spectacularly. One particularly sneaky piece from supporters of Mitch McConnell in Kentucky clearly has the Grimes camp up in arms to the point where they claim to be going to court to stop it.

 

The campaign of Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes has filed a lawsuit to stop Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell’s campaign from distributing a mailer that it says amounts to illegal voter intimidation tactics.

 

The Grimes campaign on Friday said it had filed for an immediate injunction with the state court in Franklin County, which is where the state capital is located…

 

“Of all the terrible things Mitch McConnell has done during this 30 year career in Washington, this last-ditch campaign he authorized to intimidate Kentuckians and prevent them from exercising their right to vote is unquestionably his most despicable,” Grimes campaign manager Jonathan Hurst said.

 

The mailers have the words “ELECTION VIOLATION NOTICE” sprawled at the top and attack Grimes for spreading “fraudulent” information.

You can follow the link above to see the actual mailer if you wish. The “despicable” postal delivery has the usual list of suspects up in arms across the Leftosphere. It’s being described as, “sleazy” and “threatening” and “a sick new low.” (That last one was Salon, if you couldn’t guess.) As to the idea of requesting a court order, that’s all for show at this point. The mailers have all been delivered by now and they can’t be dragged back. This is just a way for Grimes to get some free media coverage out of it.

Ah guess she decided against the current racism and sexism charges and is falling back on the old standard - voter intimidation. Pulling out all the old play cards in every state.
