A rapist. Dishonest. Corrupt. Hateful. Racist. A convicted fraudster. Twice impeached. A fascist. I am sad for our country. And disappointed & bewildered that so many of the people I know & love would support this criminal & what he represents. The next 4yrs won’t be good.

RESULT: Pamela Goodwine wins Kentucky's supreme court race. Goodwine was the candidate backed by Dems in this nonpartisan race; she defeats the candidate backed by conservatives. (This was not statewide.) Retiring justice was conservative, so this takes the court a step left.
