High Schoolers Vote in Mock Election

By Rebecca Feldhaus

Murray, KY – If it were up to area high school students who participated in a mock election, Rand Paul would be Kentucky's next US Senator. Paul won by less than 10 percentage points at Livingston Central High School, Lone Oak High School in Paducah, Madisonville North Hopkins High School and Murray High. Conway won the majority at both Lyon County High School and Hopkinsville High. Some participating high schools have yet to be tallied.
