News item: The Republican president of Kentucky Senate Robert Stivers, ladies and gentlemen, is an ass... and a sore loser --
Senate President Robert Stivers raises possibility of recanvass first, then recount and then a "contested election" in Senate to determine the winner of this year's race for governor of Kentucky. State has not had a "contested election" since William Goebel in 1899 election.^JB— Bluegrass Politics (@BGPolitics) November 6, 2019
They lie, they cheat, and when they don't win, they try to steal:
The basic position here is that any election a Democrat wins is de facto illegitimate. https://t.co/c0i4ycycth— b-boy bouiebaisse (@jbouie) November 6, 2019

And, of course, it's pretty much everywhere Republicans are clinging to whatever power they still have. As in Wisconsin, where after they lied, cheated, tried to steal and still lost, they haven't given up trying to undo the election by other means:
A year ago Scott Walker lost his office. Since then, the WI GOP has done everything they can to erode the power of the Democratic Governor that defeated him.— Don Moynihan (@donmoyn) November 6, 2019
The latest example: the Governor no longer has the right to appoint his Cabinet. Here is how they did it. (Thread). https://t.co/ZyOJDGrmv3
These totalitarian, un- American bastards need to be crushed if we ever hope to have anything resembling a functioning democracy again. Yesterday's results in Virginia, the Philadelphia suburbs, and even in Kentucky need to be replicated again and again until these banana Republicans get flushed away. We must be relentless.
