Frankfort, KY – The candidates for Kentucky's secretary of state have been squabbling over whether voters should show photo I-D before casting a ballot. Republican candidate Bill Johnson supports passing a new law requiring would-be voters to present photo identification. Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes says state law has worked by requiring voters to show a non-photo ID or be recognized by precinct officers. They are competing to replace Elaine Walker, who was appointed secretary of state early this year. Walker lost to Grimes in the spring Democratic primary. The secretary of state oversees elections for public offices and the incorporation of businesses in the Commonwealth.
