| Kentucky turd who refused marriage licenses to gay couples voted out. |
Kim Davis, the county clerk of Rowan County, married four times became a martyr to the Republicans and Christian extremists. It was Davis' first time facing re-election since her fight against same-sex marriage landed her briefly in jail in 2015. She had defied the Supreme Court's ruling that year in Obergefell v. Hodges, the landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, explaining that distributing marriage licenses to such couples went against her beliefs as a member of the Apostolic Church.
Her refusal quickly became a lightning rod of controversy, drawing support from social conservatives and anger from same-sex-marriage advocates. Held in contempt for declining to fulfill a key pillar of her duties as county clerk, Davis found herself thrown in jail for several days — and all the while, demonstrators across the political spectrum descended on the small county of some 23,000 people.
After the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is legal in the United States, the LGBTQ community celebrated a historical victory. The courts were told that all marriage certificates were legal.
Unfortunately for the Rowan County clerk, it's too much. So she started to denied marriages licenses to the first gay couple that showed up. Then she did it again and again. Then she said she will not recognize anyone getting married.
Soon a federal judge named David Bunning her to serve the nominations or face the consequences.
So in the federal trial Miller v. Davis, the lawsuit stated that issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples are to be met in timely fashion. She said that Davis must issue licenses immediately.
Davis warned her fellow clerks to face punishment if they complied on the federal order.
So Bunning placed Davis to federal time out for at least 4 1/2 days. She was released. She was told to abstain from issuing marriage licenses.
She registered as Republican and tried to run on a platform of respect for Christ.
Turns out even in Eastern Kentucky, the folks saw that Davis was dead weight.
She lost to Democrat Elwood Caudill Jr., 54 percent to 46 percent. This was a second round battle between the two but as rivals not same party.
With all 19 precincts reporting, preliminary results show Caudill earned 4,210 votes to Davis' 3,566.
Davis met Pope Francis and caused an uproar where it lead Carlo Mario Vigano being fried out the cannon. He failed to detail why Davis came to meet the pope. Francis was in the United States and met the controversial clerk without even knowing who she was.
Good riddance to a worthless piece of shit.
