Laugh Alert: Liberals claim GOP cheated to rig election for Bevin

11/7/2015

[Republican Wildcat]

I read some of the articles and the basis of their evidence that some of the Democrats down ballot had higher vote totals and margins than the Jack Conway, the Democrat candidate did vs. Republican Matt Bevin, and that this just doesn't happen. That's ridiculous on face. The only Democrats that won were those with extraordinarily high name ID vs. their opponents (Alison Lundergan Grimes and Andy Beshear), and still barely won. However, you will clearly see the total absurdity of their "evidence" if you look at the full vote results:

Governor / Lt. Governor:
Matt BEVIN / Jenean HAMPTON (REP) 511,363 52.53%
Jack CONWAY / Sannie OVERLY (DEM) 426,599 43.82%
Drew CURTIS / Heather CURTIS (IND) 35,596 3.66%

Secretary of State:
Stephen L. KNIPPER (REP) 470,881 48.84%
Alison Lundergan GRIMES (DEM) 493,184 51.16%

Attorney General:
Whitney H. WESTERFIELD (REP) 477,353 49.89%
Andy BESHEAR (DEM) 479,546 50.11%

State Auditor:
Mike HARMON (REP) 486,266 51.94%
Adam H. EDELEN (DEM) 449,941 48.06%

State Treasurer:
Allison BALL (REP) 571,898 60.64%
Rick NELSON (DEM) 371,209 39.36%

Commissioner of Agriculture:
Ryan F. QUARLES (REP) 562,996 60.08%
Jean-Marie LAWSON SPANN (DEM) 374,061 39.92%

Now again - their evidence that the election was rigged was because in two of the down ballot races, the Democrat candidates performed better than Conway, and down ballot candidates performing better than their counter part at the top of the ticket is, according to them, virtually impossible, ergo, the election is obviously rigged for governor. You see the races they conveniently leave out of their "analysis."

[Balding_Eagle]

Of course it was rigged to elect Bevin, the Governorship belongs to the Democrats.

The only was to wrest it from them is by stealth, certainly not by having a better candidate.

LOL!

Rush is loving this.

I can’t even imagine the whine-fest that will take place when democrats are voted out all over the country come midterm elections again, or when cclinton loses-

Maybe I’ll attend a disgruntled valley girl convention that day just to get some relief from the whining

[Yashcheritsiy]

Did GOP Insiders Steal the Kentucky Governor's Race for Tea Partier Matt Bevin?

You know they didn't because there's no way GOP insiders would ever do anything to help a Tea Partier get elected.

[goldstategop]

Republicans steal elections; Democrats win them.

The wide margin of Bevin’s victory is proof it wasn’t rigged.

Democrats are such sore losers.

[arthurus]

Bevin most likely required 55% or better of the true vote to break even in the vote count.

[arthurus]

The wide margin of Bevin’s victory is proof it wasn’t rigged.

Wrong.

Bevin’s victory is proof it wasn’t sufficiently rigged.

[Vaquero]

Slimy POSs..... Those b@$tards steal elections as their de rIgueur right and purpose for being. Infuriating!

[spintreebob]

The Dems have a model that knows how each demographic group will vote. How Blacks, women, union members, gays, and other oppressed groups, and white men will vote.

Their models are more true than reality as reality fails to see the importance of the data.

[oldtech]

I guess it could have been Democrat rigged or Bevin would have had a larger percentage of the vote. That would be the more likely scenario if any vote/election rigging went on.

[Sequoyah101]

What was the turnout?

What percentage of voters were registered republican?

I hope we are still laughing on this day a year from now and again four years after that. I have my doubts and fears though.

Why did Kentucky elect their dolt senators?

[Lake Living]

Of course it was rigged. Bevin convinced voters he was the better candidate and they voted for him. That right there is cheating in the minds of most Democrats. Maybe they believed their own propaganda?

[TBP]

A fair election is one liberals win. An unfair election is one they lose.

[Little Ray]

Perhaps these Democrats would like to join the Conservatives in fighting vote fraud by supporting voter ID, purging voter rolls of the dead and departed, etc.?

[TBP]

They apparently forgot to rig a couple of the other statewide races. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!

[JLAGRAYFOX]

You are 100% right on the money!!! These idiot Obamabot Democrats are lost in LaLa Land!!! If they think Matt Bevin’s political slaughter of Democrat, Jack Conway, in Kentucky this past week was a surprise, that no one expected....wait to they go through the political slaughter awaiting them next, Novmber, 2016!!! Obama has killed the Democrat Party...and these idots have nary a clue!!!

WATCH DONALD TRUMP TONIGHT (SATURDAY) ON SNL, AND JOIN MILLIONS OF OTHER AMERICANS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN BY DEFEATING HILLARY CLINTON AND POLITICALLY DESTROYING THE DEMPOCRAT PARTY!!!

[ZULU]

Yeah, they cheated. Didn’t allow illegal invaders or dead people to vote!

[napscoordinator]

They are going to investigate us. I just hope we have all our ducks in a row and not one wiff of anything questionable.

[G Larry]

Ha!

This likely means that Dem’s cheated in key districts, and can’t believe it wasn’t enough.

[napscoordinator]

There have been many Democratic wins were we are all whiney and think they cheated. I guess it is normal to feel cheated when you are the loser. Both sides do it. I guess it’s just another politics game.
