Talk:Matt Bevin/Archives/2019/November

SoS Grimes declares Beshear the Governor elect?

An editor has cited https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/2019-election-results-kentucky-mississippi-virginia/index.html as a source for Kentucky's Secretary of State office declaring Beshear as the winner of the gubernatorial election. I continue to see no such reference in the source, which as of this writing includes nine recent stories on three state elections. What is the exact sentence in the source that supposedly supports this? —ADavidB 06:31, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Scroll down to the following section: Democrat Andy Beshear has defeated GOP Gov. Matt Bevin in Kentucky, state official says. The article states clearly: Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear, the son of the former governor, has beaten incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin after a bitter race, according to Kentucky's secretary of state. Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes told CNN’s Chris Cuomo her office has called the race, and they do not believe the difference in the vote can be made up by Bevin. A recanvass could still be requested. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:37, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, thank you guys for the source provided. The best sources to support the finding would be this article from FiveThirtyEight and this concluding result from the NYT. If you view the Andy Beshear article, the election had been called. I'm not extended-confirmed yet (;~;), so if someone could please update the electoral history (as well as the 2019 Legislative Section) part of the article, that would be great. Note that Matt Bevin has recently refused to concede the election to Beshear. There also needs to be a notice at the top of the article stating that the individual is "involved in a current event" (
