A quick update from DNC headquarters.
With over 80 percent of precincts reporting, incumbent Dem Ben Chandler in Kentucky’s sixth congressional district is holding on to a razor thin lead over his Republican opponent Andy Barr. With over 80 percent of districts reporting, Chandler enjoys a 500 vote margin. This is a seat Dems regard as a bellwether, and at least one Dem source suggests it will likely end in the recount.
