Independent Holds Balance of Power in Kentucky Special State Senate Election

Thanks to Ballot Access News for this:

On August 25, Kentucky held a special election to fill the vacant State Senate seat, 18th district, in the northeastern part of the state. The results: Robin Webb, Democrat, 48.14%; Jack Ditty, Republican, 46.58%; Guy Gibbons, independent, 5.28%.

The vote in 2006 when this district last voted was: Republican 52.82%; Democratic 47.18%. The special election resulted when the incumbent Republican Senator accepted a gubernatorial appointment to a state executive job. Republican U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell had campaigned for the Republican nominee in today’s special election.
