Fletcher's campaign spokesman, Jason Keller, says automated calls from the Beshear campaign made their way to the Office of the Governor and the Department for Public Protection. Keller calls those calls illegal and a violation of Kentucky's merit and campaign finance laws.

Beshear's spokeswoman, Vicki Glass says "any call that went to a state government phone number was inadvertant." Glass says 5,000 automated calls were made by company hired by the Beshear campaign. They were hired to only call people who had given to the Beshear campaign or some other democratic campaign in the past three years. Glass says those calls were follow ups to a fundraising invitation that included a disclaimer telling the recipient that if they were a state employee or felt the invitation was inappropriate "please disregard this invitation."

But it's fair to wonder how any list, by any candidate, might include any number with state government's main "564" prefix. Glass says a state government exchange could have been called if that's what the donor listed on their contribution card.
I say it looks like a sloppy mistake at best, a possible violation of Kentucky's campaign finance laws at worst.
