Kentucky Governor Considering Signing Bill That Would Eliminate Runoff Elections.
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear says he will examine a bill that would eliminate a runoff gubernatorial election.
The runoff is triggered under Kentucky law when no single candidate in a primary election gets more than 40 percent of the vote. The law came into play in the 1990’s but has never been applied.
