Agreed. The guy who ran as an Independent got 27000 votes and everyone of those votes would have gone to Bevin, who lost by just 5000 votes.

Well there looks to be a recount and who knows, maybe, just maybe there will be a slew of “missed” votes found and they will mostly go to Bevin.

That is not going to happen

5,000 vote deficit might as well be 5 million

Recounts never turn elections with that large of a vote difference

If it was 50, different story

No offense, but that post is the kind of idiocy that turns me off to so many of my fellow conservatives.

You had an election where only 31% of registered voters even bothered to vote. Instead of blaming 27,000 nitwits who voted for the Libertarian candidate, why don’t you ask yourself what happened to the 300,000-500,000 people in Kentucky who voted for candidates like Donald Trump and Rand Paul in recent elections but couldn’t even get their asses to a voting booth yesterday?

I wish every election with more than 2 candidates required a runoff.
