GOP Primary for Governor in Kentucky Too Close to Call

Kentucky's Republican primary for governor is too close to call.

Candidates Matt Bevin, James Comer, Hal Heiner and Will T. Scott waged a furious campaign in an unusually crowded field for a Republican primary in a state that has long been dominated by Democrats.

Heiner conceded on Tuesday night, congratulating Bevin, and Scott lagged far behind the other three.

But Comer and Bevin were locked in a virtual tie with nearly all precincts reporting.

The campaign was overshadowed by allegations from a former girlfriend that Comer had emotionally and physically abused her while the two dated in college more than two decades ago.
