From Politicus USA:
Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes has filed for an immediate injunction to stop Mitch McConnell from sending out a mailer that is designed to keep people from voting on Election Day.
...
The mailer looks like an official document, but it’s not. The presentation is designed to scare voters with “ELECTION VIOLATION NOTICE” in all caps across the envelope. The letter warns the recipient that, “You are at risk of acting on fraudulent information.” The mailer is clearly voter intimidation and suppression tactic.
...
McConnell’s voter suppression effort has caused election officials in Eastern Kentucky to issue an alert, “Tonight, an alert for Eastern Kentucky voters. The Perry County Clerk and others called us today concerned about a campaign flyer mailed to folks across the coverage area…Perry County Clerk Haven King says you should not worry if you received one of these. “This means nothing; I don’t know what people are trying to do. There’s nothing fraudulent to my knowledge going on and the people in Perry County if you are registered to vote, you will be able to vote and you will be able to vote at your precinct.”

Here's the outside of the mailer in question:
And the letter within:
The shocker is that this mailer comes directly from McConnell. The stamp at the bottom of the letter reads:
PAID FOR BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF KENTUCKY AND AUTHORIZED BY MCCONNELL SENATE COMMiTTEE '14
So desperate! One wonders how much of McTurtle's own $1.8 million went into printing and mailing this stinker.
