The Courier Journal discusses Election Day 2024 results
Replay of The Courier Journal’s Joe Gerth, Kirby Adams and Hannah Pinski discussion on latest election results and news.
Results are in for most significant races of the 2024 election, with Donald Trump set to return to the White House after being elected the 47th president of the United States.
However, at the state level, winners for several Kentucky House and Senate seats still remain unknown.
Here’s what we know about races that have yet to be called in the commonwealth as of Wednesday afternoon.
Kentucky race results remain unknown after Election Day 2024
Most state races were called by late Tuesday, but winners remain unknown in a handful of House districts, where candidates are separated by as little as 30 votes.
Uncalled districts include:
- District 31, where Republican Susan Tyler Witten leads Democrat Colleen Davis with 50.7% of the vote
- District 38, where Democrat Rachel Roarx leads Republican Carrie Sanders McKeehan with 50.7% of the vote
- District 45, where Democrat Adam Moore leads Republican Thomas Jefferson with 50.3% of the vote
- District 67, where Democrat Matthew Lehman leads Republican Terry Hatton with 50.1% of the vote
- District 88, where Republican Vanessa Grossl leads Democrat Cherlynn Stevenson with 50.5% of the vote
Stevenson conceded to Grossl in a social media post Wednesday.
The winner of District 29 in the Kentucky Senate also remains unknown, with Scott Madon leading among 11 write-in candidates vying to fill the late Sen. Johnnie L. Turner’s seat.
When will Kentucky winners be finalized?
Kentucky Secretary of State spokesperson Michon Lindstrom said the state Board of Elections is working to gather final results for races that have yet to be called.
“The counties have to finalize their results to us by noon on Friday,” Lindstrom stated.
How can Kentucky candidates get a recount, recanvas?
Lindstrom said to receive an automatic recount, a race must fall within 0.5%.
Candidates can also request a recount but have to pay for it if they don’t meet the recount threshold. Costs vary and are set by the court, Lindstrom said.
Races within 1% can qualify for recanvassing, and candidates seeking a recanvas must make a request, Lindstrom said.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
