    Bevins claiming voter fraud (of course) but I'm kind of amused to see how he backs this up when every other R out performed him.

    "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 party said in a Facebook post.

    Former Kentucky Gov Matt Bevin has issued 428 pardons, including to violent offenders, before he leaves office.

    "I'm a big believer in second chances," Mr Bevin said in a statement to the Washington Post newspaper. "I think this is a nation that was founded on the concept of redemption and second chances and new pages in life."

    Mr Bevin's spate of pardons includes Dayton Jones, convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy, Brett Whitaker, convicted of killing a pastor and his wife while drink-driving, and a woman who was sentenced to life in prison for throwing her newborn in the trash after giving birth in a flea market outhouse.

    He also pardoned a man who was sentenced to 23 years in prison last year for raping a 9-year-old child.

    The extensive list includes Patrick Brian Baker, convicted in 2017 of reckless homicide, robbery, impersonating a police officer and tampering with evidence linked to a 2014 home invasion that resulted in the death of Donald Mills.

    The ACLU has praised the decision after one of their organizers, Amanda Hall, was also pardoned for her drug trafficking conviction.

    If it was done in a considerate way, then I would generally be in favor. If it was done with little in the way of process or evidentiary review . . . not so sure.

    This looks like the latter but might be the former. The guy whose brother bought his release is particularly noteworthy, considering the other people convicted with him were not pardoned.

    They're talking about postponing NY's as well, and ours isn't until April 28.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    She must have touched one less person inappropriately than the other side.

    They have a rematch in November, where she's likely to do better

    Tracking data shows a significant voting gap along generational lines. Roughly 56% of voters 65 and older returned a mail ballot. Just 19% of those younger than 35 did so

    MN Republicans are launching an effort to remove the state governor for his stay-at-home order. They need 610k signatures to move forward. Right now they have a Facebook group with 17k members.

    Republicans in Oregon this week nominated a Senate candidate with a deep history of promoting and vowing support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, providing the fringe movement its largest electoral platform yet and roiling Republicans over having a candidate who openly embraces baseless conspiracy theories.

    ...

    Perkins’ own campaign on Wednesday tried to distance the candidate from QAnon, writing in a statement that she “would never describe herself as a follower.”

    But speaking to ABC News on Thursday, Perkins did just that.

    The Senate nominee said she was “literally physically in tears ” after reading the statement posted by her own campaign to her personal Twitter account and bucked her own campaign by reiterating support for QAnon.

    "My campaign is gonna kill me,” Perkins said. “How do I say this? Some people think that I follow Q like I follow Jesus. Q is the information and I stand with the information resource.”

    It’s sad how warped some people can become, and so easily

    Honest to God voter fraud!

    In May 2014, DeMuro inflated vote totals by adding 27 fraudulent ballots in the primary election, 40 votes in May 2015, and 46 in 2016, according to court documents outlining the scheme and the charges against him.
