Government

The Kentucky lawmaker is the longest-serving Republican leader in Senate history.

The attorney general has not responded to questions about whether he thought Kentucky mail-in ballots received after Election Day should be thrown out.

A big drop in third-party candidate votes gave both the Democratic and Republican candidates get a larger share of the total vote than they did in 2016.

This marks the third time a positive case has forced all or part of the courthouse to close.

The senator's response is in sharp contrast to last year, when he publicly urged then-Gov. Matt Bevin to move on after the election despite Bevin’s unfounded claims of voter fraud.

Christian County's status as a "red zone" county prompted the changes.

The total number of people voting in the 2020 general election was a local record but the percentage fell short of Christian County’s turnout in other presidential elections.

McConnell, who easily secured his seventh term in the U.S. Senate, said,, “claiming you win the election is different than finishing the counting.”

Unofficial results show Kentucky voters will again approve the constitutional amendment known as Marsy’s Law, aiming to expand rights for crime victims.

Christian District Judge Foster Cotthoff was an advocate for the constitutional amendment but said the current political environment made it difficult to pass.

After the last absentee ballots were counted, incumbents Darvin Adams and Jimmy Dossett learned they had lost their bids for another term in office.

First elected in 1984, McConnell touted his leadership role in the Senate and passage of the CARES act earlier this year throughout the campaign
