Governor Matt Bevin has refused to concede the Kentucky Governor's race, even though the Secretary of State has called the race.
Bevin, citing"irregularities" in the voting process, has decided not to step down until a recount. At press time, Bevin's opponent, Andy Beshear, has 49.2 percent to 48.9 percent for Bevin. A Libertarian candidate, John Hicks, received 28,475 votes, or 2.0 percent of the vote.
There are three options to election irregularities in Kentucky: a recanvass, a recount, and an election contest. All candidates have until a week after the election to file a recanvassing request with the Secretary of State. According to Fox news,"If a recanvassing happens, the county election boards will recheck each machine and report the figure back to the county clerk." Members of both parties are allowed to present during recanvassing procedures.
For a recount, the challenging candidate needs to file with the Franklin County Circuit Court by November 13 to request a recount. The challenger fronts the cost of the recount, and a Kentucky judge will be appointed to manage the recount procedure. It is their job to recount the ballots both digital and paper, and come to their own conclusion. While the judge's decision would be final, an appeal might be placed with either the Kentucky Court of Appeals or the Kentucky Supreme Court.
