LOUISVILLE (AP) - Here is a look at Kentucky's top races in Tuesday's general election, from the contest for governor at the top of the ticket to down-ballot races for statewide offices:

GOVERNOR

Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Matt Bevin square off in the race to become Kentucky's next governor in a pivotal off-year election. The winner succeeds Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear, who could not seek re-election because of term limits. The campaign turned into a referendum on President Barack Obama's signature health care law. Outgoing Gov. Steve Beshear used an executive order to expand the state's Medicaid program to cover an additional 400,000 Kentucky residents and create a health exchange, where more than 100,000 people have purchased discounted health plans with the help of federal subsidies. Bevin, a Louisville businessman, has promised to scale back the expansion and eliminate the exchange, saying taxpayers can't afford it. Conway, the state's two-term attorney general, has called Bevin's plan "callous" and said he would keep both programs. Independent candidate Drew Curtis was also on the ballot for governor.

Looks like the GOP lost 3 Assembly seats in NJ. State Senate wasn’t up.

Overall real happy about yesterday's results. People are still Voting Against Obama, as they did in Nov, 2014 and will again on November 8, 2016. It's the only way people can express their rage against what Obama is doing to America. If voting against Hillary isn't enough, throw in Obama. They are birds of a feather. Defeat Clinton/Obama 2016!

We are in a never ending War for the survival of our Sacred Republic. Fight for Freedom! Fight!
