Looks like yesterday may have restored ‘em.

All told, an election to celebrate.

I’m a bit disappointed that Kentucky was a little bit behind the wave but we did gain one Democratic Congress Critter. If you want to see the official results of your local races here in Kentucky, try the State Board of Elections site. I’m pleased with the result of this race anyway.

I am also celebrating the defeat of the South Dakota abortion abomination.

And America’s first woman Speaker of the House.
