The Jefferson County Board of Elections' plan for the upcoming special election to fill an open Kentucky Senate seat is still in limbo, and two elections officials are at odds over the reason behind it.Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw said she believes a key factor behind the plan put forward Tuesday not being approved was "political grandstanding." Secretary of State Michael Adams, meanwhile, said Holsclaw failed to open enough open polling locations for a race with thousands of voters – and said he's going to try to "fix the mistake" in a meeting Friday with the head of Louisville's public school district, Marty Pollio.
