Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) doubled down Wednesday on his claim that his state's gubernatorial election may have been marred by alleged "irregularities."
Bevin refused to concede the election Tuesday night after the vote showed him losing to Democrat Andy Beshear by less than half a percentage point, and called for a recanvass of the votes.
"Kentucky sadly–and it’s not unique to Kentucky–but there’s more than a little bit of history of vote fraud in our state," Bevin told reporters, adding that his campaign was working on "getting affidavits and other information that will help us to get a better understanding of what did or did not happen."
Specifically, Bevin mentioned reports of voters being "incorrectly turned away from various voting booths around the state."
Also during the press conference, Bevin slammed Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D) for calling Tuesday's election on CNN.
