AP Calls Bill Johnson GOP Secretary of State Candidate

By Jacque Day

Western Kentucky – The Associated Press unofficially called Bill Johnson the GOP candidate for Kentucky Secretary of State last night. With nearly all votes counted statewide, Johnson led with just over 50 percent of the vote, ahead of Hilda Legg by less than a percent. Johnson was ahead by just over 1,100 votes as of 9 PM Tuesday. In Johnson's home of Todd County, he took 83 percent of the vote. It's unclear if Legg will be requesting a re-canvass.
