Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Sheppard has rejected charges against Grimes from the Executive Branch Ethics Commission.
The commission fined Grimes $10,000 for ordering the downloading and distribution of voting registration data from her office for her personal benefit while she was secretary of state.
The commission accused her of misusing her access to the data.
According to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Judge Sheperd called the commission's charges, quote, arbitrary and without the support of substantial evidence.
He also says the commission didn't identify her actions were illegal or unethical.
The ruling means Grimes will not have to pay the $10,000 fine.
