https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article237113614.htmlRepublicans urge Bevin to provide proof of election fraud or let it go and concede
A growing number of Republican lawmakers are urging Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a fellow Republican, to either provide evidence of the voting irregularities he has alleged or concede Tuesdays election to Gov.-elect Andy Beshear, who defeated him by 5,189 votes.
The best thing to do, the right thing to do, is for Governor Bevin to concede the election today so we can move on, said Rep. Jason Nemes, R-Louisville.
Senate President Robert Stivers, R-Manchester, first raised the possibility of the tight election being decided by the Republican-led legislature Tuesday night when he explained the process that would occur if Bevin decided to challenge the results of the race. Bevin bolstered that speculation Wednesday by claiming that thousands of absentee ballots were counted illegally without presenting any proof to back up his claim.

Isn't it enough that a well-connected white guy makes an incendiary statement? Now Republicans want, whaddya call it, "proof"? That's a funny word, "proof." Proof proof proof!
