“After reviewing all the reports and information furnished to the grand jury, the grand jury found no information which would warrant further investigation nor evidence of wrongdoing or abuse of the election process during the last election,” according to the Whitley County Grand Jury’s report.

“The grand jury concludes that to the extent of the information provided to the grand jury, it appears that the election was conducted in a lawful and legal manner with no further inquiry being required.”
