Kentucky, like several other red states, will deliberately and knowingly vote against its own interests just to spite the Democrats in their own mind.

John Bel Edwards has a much better chance of winning because of incumbency and because Louisiana has a sizable African-American electorate.

John Bel is also quite popular in Louisiana and is tying his opponents to the unpopular tenure of Jindal...I'd say JBE is in a pretty good spot (especially when you add in what Labour Dem pointed out)

Beshear has this one in the bag. I'm usually way too optimistic though.

Beshear's performance in the Cincinnati suburbs is very impressive. Part national suburban trend, part Beshear being a good candidate, part Bevin being a uniquely terrible candidate.

why yes, Bell/Harlan/McCreary counties are in different TV markets than their neighbors. [Link]
Not sure what happened in Nicholas County, in a few senses

Hm. Maybe I should have a media market overlay option for the maps.

Correct me if I am wrong, but pending the outcome in Louisiana, Republicans have yet to flip a governorship from D to R under the Trump presidency?

Not a terribly impressive night for the Dems in Kentucky, considering they got pulverized in the other statewide races and Beshear barely won here despite Bevin's unpopularity.

Typical Dem, taking a win and turning it into an L
How long before the legislature strips the governor of his powers ala Michigan and NC?

Well, first we have to see if the legislature overturns this election result. Bevin hasn't conceded and apparently there's an old law on the books that lets the legislature decide who wins if there is a "disputed election".

"We are always happy to split the vote in a way that causes delicious tears. Tonight there are plenty of delicious tears from Bevin supporters," the [Libertarian] party said in a Facebook post. [Link] |

Who will the KY GOP push to be the standard bearer for 2023 against Beshear ?

Tar Heel Conservative Dem: Who will the KY GOP push to be the standard bearer for 2023 against Beshear ?
AG Daniel Cameron will be on almost any speculative list for Gov or any other statewide race.

James Comer could make another run.

Obviously, the national media will try to maximize the anti-Trump spin here, but if almost any other person had been the nominee of either party, the Democrats would not have prevailed. Trump carried Kentucky by 30 points, and will likely do similarly next year.

West Virginia on a technicality. Alaska on a different technicality.

I think Montana will technically answer that "flipped under Trump" question if JBE wins next week (unless there's a bunch of technicalities about flips on the day of a Pres election)

I have finished hand-entering all the counties that are reporting precinct data.
And I have no idea what's going on with Owensboro.
