SH-26: Weaver camp questions votes from an entire precinct

By Trey Pollard, PolitickerKY.com Reporter

The campaign of state House candidate Mike Weaver (D-Elizabethtown) argues an entire precinct's worth of votes was subject to illegal handling and should be thrown out, according to WHAS-TV's Mark Hebert.

With Weaver down by 108 votes to state Rep. Tim Moore (R-Elizabethtown), those votes could swing the 26th state House district to Weaver's favor, as the Pine Valley precinct in question went to Moore by several hundred votes.
