LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A judge on Monday disqualified the apparent winner of a disputed state Senate election, ruling that she had not lived in Kentucky long enough to meet residency requirements.


Jefferson County Circuit Judge Barry Willett ordered the local Board of Elections not to count votes cast for Republican Dana Seum Stephenson when certifying results in the 37th District in Louisville.

Stephenson _ the daughter of veteran state Sen. Dan Seum, R-Louisville _ outpolled Democrat Virginia Woodward by just over 1,000 votes out of 44,522 cast in the Nov. 2 election.

Woodward's attorney said she expected an appeal by Stephenson, but predicted Woodward would ultimately take a seat in the Senate.

"Virginia Woodward looks forward to representing all of the citizens of the 37th District," attorney Jennifer Moore said in an interview.

Neither Stephenson's attorney nor Republican officials could immediately be reached for comment.
