Slipping’, slidin’ and gone! Not so fast. Yogi Berra ain’t calling this race this morning.

No doubt Hicks has ties to the Democrat Thug party.

Tied at 49% - this race may be decided by absentee votes and possible irregularities. And there will be a recount.

Good for Bevin to refuse to concede and a concession isn’t legally binding anyway.

This election won’t be decided for some time.

The one thing I haven’t seen noted is that Bevin ran behind, sometimes very far behind his Republican counterparts. His support of tolling for the replacement bridge over the Ohio River went over like a lead balloon.

For comparison:
Bevin (Gov) 48.9%
Adams (Sec of State) 52.2%
Ball (Treasurer) 60.6%
Cameron (AG) 57.7% (eat it Herald-Leader!)
Harmon (Auditor) 55.6%
Quarles (Ag Commissioner) 58.2%

Even when the margin is close, recounts and election challenges rarely succeed. The few instances in which they do, it is usually Democrats who gain votes and sometimes win due to fraud and manipulation.

Incredibly low unemployment and the state is kicking but there is no way without voter irregularities meeting people voting twice and the liberal polls allowing illegals to vote had to have happened here. I do not trust the outcome in this case I believe this election was stolen there is no way Bevin lost this. this should give us pause that the left and they’re cheating machine is still working.

The KY Governor's race had little to do with what is going on nationally. Gov. Bevin seemed to always be an outsider, since he was reared in New Hampshire, was very wealthy and lived most of his life outside KY. He never really made a place for himself with KY Republicans and his inability to understand how crucial state pensions were to teachers and state workers put the nail in his political coffin. Never mind that politicians, mostly Democrats, gutted the teacher retirement funds and did nothing to replace them long before Bevin came on the scene. Lexington and Louisville are run by Kentucky political elitists, mostly the rich and the University of KY, like most colleges and universities fits the liberal progressive role with a student population increasingly made up of out-of-state students. Having said all this, it appears that a big majority of Kentuckians are still Donald Trump supporters because they do not want their nation to fall into the hands of California and New York politicians. Many people registered as Democrats in this state feel this way. Andy Beshear, no doubt,is a good man, but like other states, Kentuckians do not want dynasties to rise up in politics. This morning, only those connected who expect Andy Beshear to feed their kitty are rejoicing. Everything is bitter sweet. The Governor's race is still too close to call, so we are told, but I believe the handwriting is on the wall for the next 4 years and we will carry on with a divided government in Frankfort, but at home, in our communities, politics will not dictate our lives for we live and we love as human beings and not as political creatures.
