Matt Bevin refuses to concede -- and plans to ask a judge for a recount in Kentucky

Republican Governor Matt Bevin is reportedly not going to concede after election results showed him losing re-election in Kentucky.

Politico correspondent Alex Isenstadt says a Bevin aide told him the campaign would not concede.

Under Kentucky law, there is no mechanism for an automatic recount and the Bevin campaign would have to convince a judge to authorize a recount.

In his victory speech, Democrat Andy Beshear said he had not yet talked to Bevin, but said his expectation was that the governor would “honor the election.”

Do a recount. They ain't finding 5k votes. KY doesn't really have a history of election bumfuckery. The SOS states she considers the lead insurmountable
