Voters in one Kentucky county are choosing a nominee to run this fall against a county clerk who went to jail rather than issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Most voters interviewed at the Carl Perkins Community Center in Morehead on Tuesday said they were supporting Democrat David Ermold. Ermold is a gay man who was denied a marriage license in 2015 and wants to challenge Republican incumbent Kim Davis.
Jacqueline Scott said she didn't like the way Davis handled the gay marriage issue. The 72-year-old registered Republican wasn't able to vote for Ermold in the primary. She says she likes Davis' family but will support the Democratic nominee this fall.
Another voter, 30-year-old Danielle Hobson, says she believes Davis wasn't right to invoke religion when refusing to sign marriage certificates for gay couples.
But 76-year-old Brenda Sparks said she can't support Ermold because of what the Bible says about homosexuality. She voted for Democrat Elwood Caudill Jr.
