This was just an all-around rout.
Amendment 2 (allow legislature to fund K-12 ed outside public school system) lost in every single county. Only one (McCreary, 53-47) was within single digits.
With 96% of precincts in, Republicans are well positioned to pick up seats on the Louisville Metro Council.
Rick Blackwell (D) is in a dead heat with challenger Jonathan “JJ” Joseph (R), 50%-50%. Blackwell is an original member of the council created by city-county merger.
Cindi Fowler (D) is losing to GOP candidate Crystal Bast (R) 52%- 48%. Fowler was first elected in 2012.
Republican Ginny Mulvey-Woolridge is leading Democrat Tyra Thomas-Walker 53%-47% for the seat now held by Madonna Flood (D).

New: Judge denies @KyDems’ request to keep polls in Jefferson County open until 8 pm after tech issues/delays this morning.
The Dems “failed to establish that anyone at those locations were denied the right to vote since at no time did any of the polling locations close.”
Jefferson Circuit Judge Eric Haner’s order notes the extensive media coverage of this issue and asks news outlets to remind voters that they are legally allowed to vote and “have their voice heard” if they are in line at 6 pm, when the polls close in Louisville.
