: Kentucky Law BlogTwo Jefferson County Judicial Races Result in two winners by a nose... Will there be a re-canvas? A re-count?
By Michael Stevens
In Jefferson County there were two incredibly close judicial elections decided by just a few hundred votes! Out of over 185,000 plus votes cast. My oh my!!!
Anyone besides me wondering if there will be a re-canvas or a re-count?
I say yes! The voters deserve it, the candidates who campaigned hard deserve it, and the system needs it.
It's still politics and if they really wanted it, then do it! Anyone saying this is just not the way it is done, needs to reconsider that four people put in a year's worth of campaigning, sacrificing, and laboring for a position they believed in. When a few hundred votes tips the scales at the end, then we all deserve to be sure about those results. Absolutely sure.

For those interested in the money raised up through 10/18/2010 for the primary and the general elections for these four candidates:
John J. Vandertoll $339,496.96
Brian C. Edwards $119,918.93
Erica Lee Williams $94,030.56
A.Christine Ward $85,010.55
Of course, this does no reflect the moneys raised and disbured in the weeks before the general election.
Now, that's a lot of money raised for positions that pay $120,000 or so per year.
