The Office of the Attorney General today announced the 12 randomly selected counties that will undergo a post-election audit for the 2023 general election.
The 12 counties are: Fayette, Webster, Perry, Fleming, Meade, Greenup, Mercer, Hancock, Johnson, Martin, Oldham, and Grayson.
State law requires the Office of the Attorney General to administer post-election inquiries in no fewer than 12 counties, which are randomly selected in a public forum within 20 days of the general election. Today’s public drawing was livestreamed and can be viewed on the Attorney General’s youtbube channel. After completing independent investigations in each of the 12 counties, the Attorney General’s Office will present its findings to grand juries and chief circuit judges in the selected counties.
In addition to the post-election audits, the Office of the Attorney General monitors election law violations via the Election Fraud Hotline. Next to Jefferson and Fayette Counties, Madison County had the most complaints filed in the past general election.
Complaints logged by the hotline for each county can be viewed here. If you suspect election fraud, report the incident to the Attorney General’s Election Fraud Hotline by calling (800) 328-VOTE.
