Democratic challenger Jim Glenn beat GOP state Rep. D.J. Johnson by one vote in their Kentucky state House race.

"I've had 25 people tell me they are the one person that voted for me," Glenn told the Associated Press. "Whether it was one vote or one thousand, it's a win. A win's a win no matter how you count it."

The AP noted that results from Glenn's victory in the Kentucky House District 13 were upheld by a county board of elections on Thursday, after a review of the voting machine count did not change the outcome.

The Kentucky State Board of Elections is scheduled to certify the results next week. However, Johnson has indicated that he may ask for a recount.

4. The probability your vote will make a difference is almost always greater than

the probability that you will win the lottery.

ALWAYS VOTE!

And it would probably be better to donate to your favorite candidate rather than toss money at a lottery jackpot.
