Republican incumbent Gov. Matt Bevin refused to concede late Tuesday in Kentucky's gubernatorial race, citing unspecified "irregularities" -- potentially kickstarting weeks of uncertainty as the closely-watched contest with national implications remains too close to call.
The history-making evening also saw Republicans decisively hold onto the governorship in Mississippi despite a fierce Democratic challenge, while electing Kentucky’s first black attorney general. Democrats, meanwhile, took complete control over the Virginia statehouse for the first time in 26 years.
On Monday, Trump had called on an "angry majority" of voters to boost the relatively unpopular Bevin in Kentucky, in a nod to Richard Nixon's "silent majority" and Ronald Reagan's "moral majority." But with 100 percent of precincts reporting, Bevin was behind Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, 49.2 percent (711,955 votes) to 48.9 percent (707,297 votes). Libertarian candidate John Hicks received 28,475 votes, or 2.0 percent.

I don't blame him. I would bet my life on it that there was voter fraud involved.
ReplyDelete4:12. Of course there was voter fraud!!! How do you think Bevin came so close to actually winning?
ReplyDeleteSeems the Republican Party has lost its drive with all the never Trumpers trying to destroy the party,that’s why these Democrats are winning.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans are not Republicans any longer. Passed the largest spending bill in US history , has a trillion dollar deficit in the "best economy ever" with full employment . Yep thats Republican
