{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Beshear spokeswoman Kerri Richardson announced Friday that Governor Steve Beshear has scheduled a special election to replace former Republican U.S. Representative Geoff Davis for November 6th, the same day as the general election. Lynn Zellen, spokeswoman for the secretary of state's office, says holding the special congressional election on a separate day could have cost as much as $500,000. Davis resigned in July, citing a family health issue. Republican Thomas Massie, a tea party favorite, is running against Democrat Bill Adkins, a lawyer from northern Kentucky.
