Number of votes in 2019: Beshear:709,890 Bevin:704,754 All the unions fearmongering about penbsions gave Beshear a difference of only 5136 in a state in which his daddy had a margin of victory of over 170,000 votes. Now everyone but the teachers knows Beshear's not going to save anyone's pension. This will be a short return for Democrats to the Governor's office.
