I also watched the returns and Bevin was indeed ahead but I must have missed the over 20,000 vote the Dem had and I believe Bevin lost the lead about 9PM or so and then trailed by as many as 27,000 votes but then at the very end he started to come back and lost by 5000 votes.
I’m not seeing a last minute vote dump for the Dem and in fact thought it was Bevin who closed from down 20,000+ to 5000 down.
You are right about Bevin being the last one to come back...but, the Jefferson County, etc., vote dump was massive and overwhelming for the Democrat, Beshear, and I was totally surprised that Bevin came back and almost over took him for the lead!!! It is a long shot for Bevin to win...but...I still the fight is worth it.
Politics today is no longer a gentleman’s game....you need to fight fire with fire...if you want to win!!! I hope the Louisiana GOP & Bevin fight hard to the end, whatever the final outcome is. I do not believe in surrender to politicians that want to work to destroy the American Republic...which is the true goal of today’s Democrat Party....sadly!!!
