Harvey Jason Richardson stunned Breathitt County political observers by beating veteran incumbent Judge-Executive Lewis Warrix by 666 votes in the Democratic primary. Richardson has no fall opponent, so at age 27 will become what is thought to be the youngest judge-executive in Kentucky, though not the youngest ever elected.
So, the punk defeated the decent, honest fellow by 666 votes? Coincidence? And it gets BETTER!
But in Breathitt County, former Sheriff Ray Clemons, removed from office in 1997 after being convicted of failing to report drug activity within his family, defeated incumbent Sheriff John L. Turner in the Democratic primary.
Okay, Ray lied for his daughter, I get that. But GEEZE, was John L that BAD of a sherrif?
