Tonight, voters go to to the polls in party primaries Kentucky and Philadelphia, and for a mayoral runoff in Jacksonville, Florida. Our
guide to the key races can be found here. Polls start to close in the Eastern time zone portion of Kentucky at 6 PM ET, and we'll be bringing you tonight's results as they come in.
Results & Poll Closing Times (all times Eastern):
Tue May 19, 2015 at 5:57 PM PT: KY-Gov: It looks like we're in for a barnburner. With 96 percent in, Bevin leads Comer just 33-32.1, which translates to a 1,861 vote edge.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 5:59 PM PT: Philadelphia Mayor: With 20 percent in, Kenney is still taking 63 percent of the vote. A few weeks ago this looked too close to call, but Kenney surged at exactly the right time.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:05 PM PT: KY-Gov: Wow: With 97 percent in, Bevin leads Comer by 921 votes, or 0.50.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:08 PM PT: Philadelphia Mayor: This one wasn't so close though. The AP has called the Democratic primary for Kenney, who currently leads Williams 60-21 with 32 percent in. Former DA Lynn Abraham started out the primary as a co-frontrunner but she's only taking 9 percent.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:10 PM PT: KY-Gov: With 98.4 percent in, Bevin leads Comer by 748 votes, or 0.3 percent.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:13 PM PT: KY-Gov: Comer has taken a 30 vote lead with 99 percent of precincts in... wow.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:19 PM PT: KY-Gov: We're waiting on two western Kentucky counties, Ohio and Ballard. Surrounding counties have backed both Comer and Bevin.
Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:22 PM PT: KY-Gov: Again: Wow.
Ballard County is in.
Comer 107
Bevin 68

Tue May 19, 2015 at 6:26 PM PT: KY-Gov: From our reading of Kentucky recount law, anyone can request a recount if they pay for it. You can bet someone will pay for it.
