Via reader PKC:

As of 7:10 PM - one hour + pass the closing of the Kentucky polls:

There have been record crowds at the polls in Kentucky. In the three or four polling places I passed at different times today, there never seemed to be an empty parking space….and in many cases, there were overflowing cars parked alongside the road. At my own very rural polling site in central Kentucky, the ladies who worked the polls told me they had seen a much higher turnout that usual.

With 20 percent of the polls reporting in, as of 5:59 PM, Bush leads with 53% of the popular vote to Kerry’s 46%.

Republican Incumbant Anne Northup has been declared the winner of the 3rd District House of Representatives for Kentucky by local WHAS 11 TV.

Also, the Kentucky Marriage Amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman has passed in Kentucky WHAS 11 has the story that states: “With 16 percent of precincts reporting, the amendment had 199,771 votes for it, or 64 percent, and 110,435 votes against it, or 36 percent.”
