'Not enough bourbon in Kentucky' to make me release voter data!'

Kentucky secretary of state.

Kentucky's secretary of State delivered a biting rejection on Friday of a presidential voter fraud commission's broad request for voter registration information, saying "there's not enough bourbon" in Kentucky to convince her to comply with the demand.

"There's not enough bourbon here in Kentucky to make this request seem sensible," Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) said on MSNBC. "Not on my watch are we going to be releasing sensitive information that relate to the privacy of individuals."

"Not on my watch are we going to be turning over something that's left to the states to run – elections are left to our states under the 10th Amendment – to the federal government." . .

Lundergan Grimes told The Hill she had a number of concerns with the White House’s request. She said the commission was “formulated on a sham premise” and its mission goes against states's right to run their own elections and voter registration.'>>>

I'm glad she's still Secretary of State in Kentucky. I hope she becomes Senator some day.
