The Latest on general election results in Kentucky races on Tuesday.
10:10 p.m.
The race for governor in Kentucky between incumbent GOP Gov. Matt Bevin and Democratic challenger Andy Beshear is too close to call.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Beshear has a lead of 4,658 votes out of more than 1.4 million counted, or a margin of 0.3 percentage points.
There is no mandatory recount law in Kentucky. Bevin may request counties recanvass their results, which is not a recount, but rather a check of the vote count to ensure the results were added correctly.
Bevin would need to seek and win a court's approval for a recount, the process for which would be dictated by the court.
9 p.m.
Republican attorney and former elections board member Michael Adams has been elected as Kentucky's next secretary of state.
Adams played up his conservative connections and expertise in election law to overcome the more well-known candidate, former Miss America Heather French Henry. Although Henry ran on the Democratic ticket, she called herself a nonpartisan candidate.
Adams called himself the only conservative and took a hard line on issues that included requiring photo identification to vote, cleaning up the voter rolls, keeping primaries closed and offering ballots in English only.
He will succeed Democrat Allison Lundergan Grimes, who is in her second term and could not run again due to term limits.
8:40 p.m.
Republican Daniel Cameron has been elected Kentucky attorney general, becoming the first African American in the state's history to win the office.
Cameron was backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and President Donald Trump. Cameron will also be the first Republican in 70 years to be the state's top prosecutor when he takes office.
Cameron defeated Democrat Greg Stumbo, who served as attorney general from 2004 to 2008 and is also a former speaker of the Kentucky House of Representatives. Cameron overcame challenges from Stumbo about his lack of experience and a lawsuit from a Louisville resident that said Cameron didn't have enough years as a practicing attorney to run for the office.
Cameron worked as McConnell's general counsel and helped push through the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. He also played football at the University of Louisville.

Republican Mike Harmon has been re-elected as Kentucky auditor.
Harmon defeated Democrat Sheri Donahue, a cybersecurity expert who audited weapons projects for the U.S. Navy.
Harmon, a former state representative, said his job since getting elected in 2015 has been to "follow the data" wherever it leads. The auditor is in charge of overseeing audits of state agencies and county governments.
Harmon's office performed an audit of two of the state's largest public pension systems and released the results in August. The audit reported the pension systems had not been properly disclosing information about how they invest money and pay investment managers.
Harmon was a state legislator from central Kentucky before he was elected auditor.

Quarles has said he supports legalizing marijuana for medical purposes, but says it should be up to the General Assembly to make that decision. Conway was a strong supporter of medicinal marijuana for pain relief for cancer patients and others.
Quarles has worked to expand markets available to farmers and said he is the first ag commissioner to have staff who focus on international trade.
