Kentucky GOP faces ethics charges over attempt to steal election

Remember when Republicans in the Kentucky House tried to steal that seat in Owensboro and landed on their asses with a thud?

Now the Kentucky Legislative Ethics Commission has agreed to hear an ethics complaint filed against Republican leaders over it. It seems Republicans used state resources including a staff lawyer to help prepare the challenge to the election results. Such misuse of taxpayer funds is illegal.

The commission can impose civil fines of up to $2,000 per violation. But here's the best part: It can also recommend expulsion of offending legislators.

And I hope it does.
