As of this morning, the Kentucky governor’s race is close with Dem Andy Beshear leading incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin:
"This is a close, close race," said Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who trailed Democratic candidate Andy Beshear by 5,189 votes with 100% of precincts reporting across Kentucky. "We are not conceding this race by any stretch." https://t.co/pxmmX9YdLV

Gov. Bevin will ask for a re-canvas of the vote:
BESHEAR DECLARES VICTORY AS GOV. BEVIN ASKS FOR A RE-CANVAS OF THE VOTES: By a razor-thin margin, Andy Beshear, a Democrat, got more votes than Matt Bevin, the Republican incumbent. After 100% of the precincts reported, Beshear was ahead by 5,333 votes. https://t.co/77hiiSBxLs

The way this works is Gov. Bevin, like Dem loser Stacey Abrams in Georgia, should just continue to claim voter fraud and then he’ll get sweet, sweet gigs on cable TV:

Bevin should continue to claim voter fraud so he'll be booked on every morning and Sunday show as a rising star of the party. He should even just say he actually won and is actually governor. I hear that works. https://t.co/1rGvoNQ7G6
