Surprisingly, not even a write-in vote 2012-11-07 - 104 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. One of the surprises of election night was that there was not a single write-in vote for this man, CM occasional food critic and Top Blue Ribbon Bear Board leader, Johnny Vaughn. Vaughn's report on an Epicurean Bear Board expedition to the state of West-by God-Virgina will be posted shortly. Vaughn is photographed in downtown Columbia's newest restaurant, Tap's Diner, located between the Fountain Plaza and Moore's Pool Room, next door to Grimsley's Jewely, on the Square.

The Winners: Judge-elect Vance Command Post 2012-11-07 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. This morning she's Judge-Elect Judy Vance. Last night, 29th Judicial District Circuit Judge candidate Judy Vance set up a command post in the lobby of the Adair County Courthouse, with notepaper, a soft drink, and a cell phone to keep track of of the early returns from Casey County - which were encouraging, even though the race turned out to be a battle of home counties. Her opponent, Brian Wright, carried his home county comfortably, but in Adair County, Vance won by much more. With the victory, she will take office January 1, 2013, unless Governor Beshear appoints her to the vacant bench - open since the death of Judge James Weddle - sooner. An effort is underway to encourage the governor to do just that.
