visionary Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 From that article: Quote Kentucky is set to recanvass the votes in the election, at Bevin's request, on Nov. 14. That process is different from a recount; rather than recounting each of the ballots again, officials will reprint receipts from voting machines and check them over. It's more of a clerical process, and not an uncommon one. Douglas says it would be "extremely shocking" if it were to change the underlying result. Unless the recanvass yields major evidence that Democratic state Attorney General Andy Beshear didn't win, Bevin's options are slim. Under state law, Bevin has the option to contest the election, which would put the ball in the legislature's court. The Republican supermajority in the legislature could then set up a committee to look at evidence and decide an outcome. Outside specialists say they hope that doesn't happen. "That's a horrible idea," says Lonna Atkeson, the director of the University of New Mexico's Center for the Study of Voting, Elections, and Democracy. "And I can't imagine that the legislature would actually move forward with such an enterprise without some sort of serious information that indicated there was fraud or some other kind of abuse or very serious election irregularities." The window may be closing; Republican Senate President Robert Stivers said in an interview Friday that Bevin should concede if next week's recanvass doesn't radically change the election results. "It's time to call it quits and go home, say he had a good four years and congratulate Gov.-elect Beshear," said Stivers, in an interview with Louisville's Courier-Journal.

techboy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What's funny is they're saying this stuff about making up points to stroke Trump's ego and avoid explaining the clear drag he's having on Republican fortunes, but they clearly don't consider* the impact if what they're saying is actually true... Imagine a world where the Republican IS down 20 points at the start in LA or KY, and they need special intervention to even come close. *Probably because they don't actually believe it, but still.

Or one where Trump loses the WH (and several states), and the GOP still needs him, to win the rest of the states. Could you see the GOP paying Trump to keep holding rallys, after he's out, to keep their base fired up? Would break my heart, if it happened.
