Unusual Vote In Georgetown
KENTUCKY...
A Georgetown City Council candidate's death last month didn't prevent more than 1,000 voters from casting ballots for her. Signs were posted at the polls on Tuesday, stating that Vickie Moore had died and votes for her wouldn't be counted. Moore still received 1,002 votes, putting her name among the 16 top vote getters who would move on to the November general election. Election officials say Antonio Barber Sr. will fill the slot.
