No doubt it wasn’t the best of nights for the Republican Party at the state level. In Virginia, the Democrats retook everything. For the first time in two decades, the Democratic Party will control all of Richmond—and a parade of horribles is tow follow. The trash politics of deep blue Maryland have spilled over. It’s the Battle Antietam, but in reverse and with a clear and decisive winner: the anti-American Left. If I could, I would flee to West Virginia or South Carolina. Right now, Virginia Republicans have to tolerate the deluge of hyper-left-wing trash is about to emanate from Richmond whose sole purpose is to keep the liberal voters of Northern Virginia—and only Northern Virginia—happy at the expense of the rest of us.
In Kentucky, Republican Gov. Matt Bevin appears to have lost his re-election bid. He lost by a razor-thin margin, enough for him to hold off conceding until the ballots are recanvassed (via CNBC):
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin submitted a request for a recanvass Wednesday after narrowly losing to Democrat Andy Beshear in a tight gubernatorial race.
The request comes after Bevin refused to concede Tuesday night, following his apparent loss by less than 6,000 votes, according to NBC. Bevin alluded to “a few irregularities†in a speech to supporters but did not provide any further specifics.
Bevin’s request was submitted to Kentucky Secretary of State Alison L. Grimes, who is in charge of running the election.
