Republicans appear to have flipped a whopping three seats in Louisville Metro Council races, bringing their total representation from nine to 12 members. The party will have just under half the seats on the council, undoubtedly bolstering its influence.

Half of the 26 Metro Council seats were up for election this year, but only seven races were contested. See who won.

Voters say there are two major ballot issues at the top of their minds — the medical marijuana initiatives and the abortion access initiatives.
