FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - There have been few early problems reported on this election day in Kentucky.
A spokesman for the Secretary of State's office says one unusual incident was reported by several callers.
Spokesman Les Fugate says people complained Oak Grove Mayor Dan Potter put up yellow police tape around City Hall, blocking access to rest rooms, telephones and much of the building, except for the polling location.
Fugate says the office has never heard of such an incident before and asks who would want to vote at something that looks like a crime scene. He says it could be considered a form of voter intimidation.
Calls to Potter were not immediately returned.

Are you kidding me? Police tape is voter intimidation? The last election I took part in I was guarding polling locations in Iraq. Car bombs, beheadings, etc. are intimidation, not freaking plastic police tape. It's a shame that our God given rights as Americans are wasted on such (edited). Face real voter intimidation and see if you right to vote is REALLY important to you. This kind of cry-baby attitude is rotting this country from the inside out. Waaa, Waaa, Waaa. It's no wonder so many other nationalities don't like us, we have it the best, but cry the most. If they are intimidated by police tape, maybe they shouldn't be voting in the first place. I am so sick of hearing people complain in this country. If you don't like it FOR WHATEVER REASON, get the He11 out and see how they live in other countries. By the way, has anyone heard of "United We Stand, Divided We Fall"? Yeah, we are at war and guess what the terrorists don't care whether you're Rep or Dem-I know, I asked.
A lotof good christian, voted against the next Governor, Steve Beshear, because of the gambling issue, Let's see if next November they will turn up to vote down the gambling.
HOw dare the mayor do thil,what was this nitwit thinking? I want THIS INVESTIGATED BY THE STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES!
