Some Odd-Year Election Results

Although it's an odd-numbered year, there were still a bunch of elections and referendums going on today.  A few stories from around the country:

From WPVI, former city councilman Jim Kenney (D) is elected mayor of Philadelphia.

From ABC13 NewsNow, Republicans retain control of the Virginia state Senate.

From The Texas Tribune, current State Representative Sylvester Turner (D) is leading in the mayoral race in Houston, and could be headed for a runoff on December 12.  Incumbent Mayor Annise Parker is term-limited.

Also from The Texas Tribune, voters in Houston have rejected the HERO ordinance.

From Fox News, Matt Bevin (R), favored by the Tea Party movement, has been elected governor or Kentucky.

And from The Columbus Dispatch, voters in Ohio have rejected legalizing marijuana.
