State Board of Elections certifies primary totals

Posted: Updated:

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- The State Board of Elections has certified vote totals from the May 22 primary election, a routine gesture that occurs after all Kentucky elections.

The move seals President Barack Obama's win of Kentucky's Democratic primary and Republican Mitt Romney's victory in the state's GOP primary, though neither had challengers.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the state's chief election official, said the vote totals show that 13.8 percent of Kentucky's registered voters cast ballots in the primary.

Grimes said that's lower than she would have liked, but higher than she had expected.
