Recanvass yields few changes in SD-11, HD-92

The three recanvasses conducted by county elections boards today show no change in the winners of last Tuesday's primary.

Votes in the hotly-contested 11th state Senate District Republican primary were recalculated after former U.S. Marshal and Boone County Jailer John Schickel (R-Union) eeked out a 24 vote win over former state Representative Charlie Walton (R-Florence). Recalculations show no difference in vote counts, and Schickel's win will stand.

With no Democratic opposition in November, he is now assured of a seat in Frankfort for the next legislative term.

In the 92nd state House District, a recanvass actually gave incumbent state Rep. Ancel 'Hard Rock' Smith a larger win than appeared in initial counts. After this morning's recalculations, Smith increased his lead over opponent John Sizemore from 235 to 298 votes.

"I don’t think, since Brown v. Board of Education, in 1954, will there be one singular moment that will make a bigger difference in race relations in this country than when on November the 4th we elect Barack Obama."

– Gov. Steve Beshear during his speech Wednesday to the state’s delegation at the Democratic National Convention.
