Kentucky voters still don’t know the result of a very close election between two Democratic contenders to see who will challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the November election.
NBC News says the result is too close to call between African-American State Rep. Charles Booker and retired U.S. Marine officer Amy McGrath, although she led him slightly 44 percent to 39.6 percent, in the state’s Democratic Primary just a 2,000 vote margin.
Voters were scrambling to cast their ballots at the end of Tuesday (June 23) because polls had been scheduled to close at 6 p.m. People in Louisville were trying to get access to the Kentucky Exposition Center, the only place in town where they could vote.
Booker won a court order to keep the statewide polls open, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
However, by 7 p.m. poll workers were packing up their tables and sending voters home who had not made it into polling places.
