Republicans plot to Outright Steal Kentucky Gov. Election

[New Sukberia]

Beshear: 49.2%-709,846
Bevin: 48.8%-704,760

So it's less than .5%

Yes, i'm also seeing a 5.000 and some difference between the two, taking from French media since it's not biased.

If anyone is interested, they talked about it on French TV, and i found this article from Le Parisien (it's in French)

LP is a sensationalist tabloid, I’d go with American sources for this election for obvious reasons. You can’t be biased with raw numbers

Republicans in the Kentucky legislature are considering outright stealing the Governor election they just lost according to the Senate President. They re making the claim that the Libertarian candidate was a spoiler and Bevin would have won if not for him and might attempt to declare Bevin the winner according to the Senate President Steve Stiver. Bevin has not conceded to Beshear.

If this plot succeeds I hope there are mass protests in Frankfort and these people are forced out of the capitol building. Hopefully a court will stop this coup. Gov elect Beshear isnt going to let them get away with it.

I think its quite clear at this point Republicans see Democracy as an annoyance.

Your thoughts NSG?

Excellent news from Kentucky in my opinion. Bevins is an asshole, but the Democrats are objectively worse.

[San Lumen]

he won the most votes. Republicans are merely doing this because they dont like the fact they lost. Plus that is not why the electoral college was created and its also not the topic

with less than 1% and without a total majority, your argument is invalid. You act like Republicans can't issue a recount, but oh God the Dems DESERVE a recount in Georgia. Who the fuck are you to say what is and is not democratic, you fucking hypocrite?!

There was evidence of possible fraud. Here there is not. And you didnt answer my question. You made arguments against democracy saying it was unfair urban areas get their fair share of representation and we should give more to farms because dirt. You also said it wasn't fair a vote in a city counts the same as of someone in a farmhouse.

Yeah lets set the precedent of overturning election outcomes we dont like. If a Democratic legislature even hinted at something like this you'd be screaming bloody murder.

Nah, both Bevin and Beshear are equally as bad

LP has constantly been pro-De Gaulle, but in later years even the far-left have praised its neutrality.

I'll take that over Fox News and CNN, any time.

From what I understand, less than half of the votes were for Bershear. Therefore, it is only right that he is not given the governorship, since he does not have a clear majority. Why do you hate democracy, Lumen?

That’s what we do down here in Georgia. If no candidate wins an outright majority then another election takes place so that a candidate has an outright majority.

Exactly that's why our last election had little miss AOC rip-off making up voter suppression and crapp to try and have a re election and hope she got more votes. God bless Governor Kemp!
Don't you love democracy?

shortage of ballots, poll closings and power outrages in the Atlanta metro area.

Why is it ok for Republicans to do it?

... not going to lie if that actually contributed to this, unlikely but still, I’m going to die laughing.

Another day another blunder of neoliberal democracy…

Why the fuck should I answer to you, when all you do is regurgitate the same damn shit over and over again, you are incapable of learning anything new.

[New Sukberia]

Yes, your point?

Too be fair, a 0.4% difference is a very tight race.

[San Lumen]

Why is it ok for Republicans to do it?

Because it's legal and the recounts are normal in elections this close.

You have in the past called for recounts in Florida and other states as Galloism demonstrated.

By your own logic, you hate democracy and wanted to steal elections.

OEP outright called for the legislature to overturn the election. If Bevin wants a recount fine but he has to pay for it. Its very doubtful a 5000 vote lead will be overturned via recount. The issue here isn the legislature is openly talking about overturning the election result.

Because you've yet to explain why dirt should matter more than actual votes other than claim it's unfair.

OEP is a literal right-wing authoritarian, so... He objects to allowing liberals to govern on principle.
