The paper copy will list the disbursements. Then you can continue with your conspiracy investigation. Go get those vote haulers!

however, i’ve seen a few different pics of Alexander, and he looks nutty in all of them. so i’m not sure a different picture would have helped. Releasing no picture at all would probably have been the best move.

Nor do I believe the KREF is making any effort at “preventing disbursements from being viewed.” They clearly state in the disclaimer that the reports generated online are not originals and provide a way for the originals to be viewed.

Just took a look at some of Stan Lee’s reports for his 45th District House seat. Those reports include disbursements. As do Steve Beshear’s gubernatorial reports.

If it’s the case that KREF is preventing disbursements from being viewed on the actual PDF version of finance reports, that’s just beyond shady.

As far as the race between Alexander and Smith? Well, to suggest that meddling, vote buying and disenfranchisement didn’t occur would be a bit premature at this point. We’ll wait for investigations and all that jazz to wrap up.

I think you are way off base here.

I would ask you to look at any races in the KREF database and come up with one that lists individual disbursements. Go ahead over there to http://www.kref.ky.gov then go to the candidate searchable database and look for disbursements. They are rarely if ever listed – for anyone. To get those, one must ask for a hard copy of the filing from that office.

Brandon Smith’s filing reads the exact same way.

For all the discussion about the 30th, and the fact that we [speaking collectively for the Democrats] lost one we should not have, the reason wasn’t for lack of effort on the part of the KDP. Nor was it because the procedure for choosing Mr. Alexander was flawed. It wasn’t. The KDP By-Laws were followed to a T inasmuch as the nomination process went. And while Mrs. Brock of Harlan County made an honorable argument as to letting County Executive Committees vote on the nominations, which may have given us a different candidate (Roger Noe), the process itself followed the rules, including those providing for a weighted vote of the four county chairs who participated.

What went wrong in the 30th I do not know. I do know it was not the process, nor was it the effort provided by the State party.

Great picture.
