| Constitutional Amendment No. 1 "to provide that only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be a marriage in Kentucky" was a key factor in this election; voters approved it by a 75% to 25% margin. The U.S. Senate race proved to be much closer than anticipated as Sen. Jim Bunning (R) squeaked in with 873,507 votes to 850,885 for Daniel Mongiardo (D) (50.7% to 49.3%). In the open 4th CD Geoff Davis (R) def. Nick Clooney (D) by 54.4% to 43.9% with 1.7% going to an Independent candidate, thereby strengthening their hold on the U.S. House delegation to 5R, 1D. Republicans also picked up eight House seats in the Kentucky Legislature, trimming the Democrats' majority to 57 to 43. |
