What, is Yertle hiding them in his shell?
No idea what is going on there but they both had about 2,000 more votes about half an hour ago.

Or did Moscow Mitch and Putin-boy Paul call in the hacker reinforcements?
Wouldn't only one of them lose votes in that case?
Now they've both gained about 3,000.![]()
I guess the Orange One, in his own words, will be said now to have suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. He wouldn't lie, now, would he?

'You can't let that happen to me!' Trump begs Kentucky fans to block defeat of GOP gov.
The president has invested significant political clout in the governor's race, which should be a shoo-in for the GOP incumbent in this deep-red state.www.nbcnews.com

Both came close to flipping last time, so no surprise. The House of Delegates only had a Republican majority because one race ended up tied and they picked a name out of a hat, or by coin toss or something like that.*WaPo is reporting that Democrats are projected to flip both chambers and picked up two Senate and four House seats. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poll...b57972-ff5b-11e9-8501-2a7123a38c58_story.html

Bevin was not popular in Kentucky - Republicans won all the other offices up for a vote. He is currently refusing to concede... though the margin is fairly narrow (enough to trigger a recount?)
As if matters couldn't get more complicated, Republican Senate President Robert Stivers then told reporters that a joint session of the Kentucky General Assembly may eventually decide the winner, citing a provision in the state constitution that hasn't been used in 120 years.
Bevin said he "wanted the process to be followed" under law before he made a concession, referring to unspecified "irregularities" that were "corroborated."
The first step in that process under Kentucky law, when it comes to election results that are contested, should be as familiar to Bevin as anyone else in the state, as he won a razor-thin victory in the Republican gubernatorial primary of 2015 by margin of just 83 votes over now Rep. James Comer.
Republican Senate President Robert Stivers suggested a dicier option Tuesday night: Let the GOP state legislature decide the winner. Section 90 of the state Constitution says "contested elections for governor and lieutenant governor shall be determined by both houses of the General Assembly, according to such regulations as may be established by law." Stivers said his staff believes that might apply in this case. The last "contested" governors race was in 1899, the Courier Journal reports.
Sam Marcosson, a constitutional law professor at the University of Louisville, told the Courier Journal that Republicans can't just make up a legal procedure to review the election, and warned that it's a risky "proposition to suggest that the General Assembly would take vague allegations of unspecified irregularities and call into question a gubernatorial election." Joshua Douglas, a professor at the University of Kentucky Law School, explained that Bevin would have to call a special session of the General Assembly, then a panel of eight House members and three senators "would hear evidence and make a final determination. And that determination would be final."
Why am I not surprised at these antics. Beshear won.

Just another man who can't take NO as an answer.In the KY governors race, Bevin refuses to concede to Beshear, citing voting irregularities.
A Bevin-Beshear recount? Here's what could happen in the Kentucky governor's race
“The people of Kentucky deserve a fair and honest election," stated Bevin campaign manager Davis Paine in the release. "With reports of irregularities, we are exercising the right to ensure that every lawful vote was counted.”
The news release did not provide any specific example of voting irregularities, and Bevin's campaign and office have not replied to multiple requests asking for any of those alleged examples.
Bevin officially requests election recanvass in Kentucky governor race
Now that he has officially requested the recanvass, I fear irregularities in the recanvassing process. Will any of the votes be thrown out? I just don't trust this.
Once again, just further proof that the GOP will stop at nothing to try and hold onto power.
They are contemptible.
Just more "alternative facts". Someone will believe him. Pathetic.
