Seems Republicans in Kentucky have an opportunity to steal Beshear's win after all.
I decided to google search this issue. I am being inundated with extreme amounts of pro-Democrat, anti-GOP, anti-Trump propaganda with the results.
Despite that, there's clearly a dispute. And a legitimate one, at that. 5000 votes is a very close race. If even one polling place, which is heavily GOP, is proven to have conveniently malfunctioned and turned people away from voting, as claimed, this could change the election outcome.
Double voting, voting when you are not eligible (but not criminal), and the extremely rare voter fraud, all added together, can add up to quite a few improper votes.
This research says 1 in 4000 votes are double votes:

That's far more than I thought. But not enough in Kentucky to change the outcome of the election. The only way to do that would be to "close" a voting site that was in a heavy GOP district AND for those voters to be turned away AND not get to vote. If that situation, as claimed, is true, yes, this can greatly change the outcome of the election.
This is simple: ask everyone who got turned away to come forward. Verify them in a special voting session against the existing voting records to ensure they don't get to double vote. Done. Argument over.
Edit - I really like that paper. It covers a lot of the research around voting fraud and why Americans should stop being complacent with "voting is safe! hardly any voting fraud!" No. It's not. We don't really know how bad it is. It's anywhere from a little bit (enough to be concerned about) to a lot (disastrously terrible).
Odd, I didn't get that at all in my google search.
Here's one from a staunch Right news outlet: Republican-controlled Kentucky Legislature could decide outcome of gubernatorial election

Washington Examiner did not show up in my first page of results. What did you google?
Also, reading that article, it was written well and fairly. Odd that it is a right-leaning website. Of all the articles I read, it presented the story with the least amount of bias and was not cringe-inducing amounts of bias. I just want the facts, quotes, and direction. I don't want all that other bias-adjectivvy stuff and editorializing.
They have several failed fact checks. Unlike that right-leaning site I posted yesterday that was rated highly for factuality. You can be a biased site but still stick to the fact - nothing wrong with that.
"A recanvassing process challenging Bevin’s 83-vote lead in his 2015 primary election did not change any votes." -Snip
So it's not likely they're going to find that 5,000+ votes were fraudulent this time around.
Bevin's angling to have it go to Congress, where Republicans have the clear advantage in Kentucky.

I'm not sure what outcome I want in this case. I say throw the whole election away and give the win to the 3rd party. 🙂

How undemocratic of you.
Am I undemocratic? Or does the system not actually serve the people because it is controlled by two warmongering corportist parties?
Let's go with the latter according to SCIENCE!
Edit - I do not support the "democratically elected" two-party, corrupt, candidates. It's likely that the third party candidate cost the GOP candidate the election. If rank choice voting was an option, the third party candidate is likely to have won the election.

Something really needs to be done with these older machines.

Thread titles like this don’t help anyone. It’s not a zero-sum game. “Trumpers” are fellow countrymen. Way too much shade and hate being tossed around.
a search under your name produced no results for your anger at the president for calling all democrats "human scum". please explain why one is okay and the other disgusts you. let me guess: fee-fees?
