Kentucky- Stivers suggests a majorly d___ move. Decide election in legislature

Senate president: Kentucky governor's race could be decided by state legislature

Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers threw another wrench into the state's razor-thin gubernatorial outcome late Tuesday night, saying that the legislature could decide the race.

Stivers, R-Manchester, said based on his staff’s research, the decision could come before the Republican-controlled state legislature.

---someone tell what the hell this has to do with ANYTHING ----

Stivers said he thought Bevin’s speech declining to concede to Beshear was “appropriate.” He said believes most of the votes that went to Libertarian John Hicks, who received about 2% of the total vote, would have gone to Bevin and made him the clear winner.

I think Hick's votes were from conservatives who couldn't bear voting for Bevin because he's such a jerk.
