Bevin: I Lost Because Dems Are Good At “Harvesting Votes In The Urban Communities” Like Housing Projects

Louisville’s NPR affiliate reports:

Matt Bevin lost to Democratic Attorney General Andy Beshear last month by a little more than 5,000 votes. During an interview on 55KRC in Cincinnati, Bevin said that the election was a “surprise” that defies logic.

“The left, those who think of a different ideological bent, they are getting so good at harvesting votes in the urban communities,” Bevin said.

“They were able to go into urban communities where people are densely populated on college campuses and public housing projects.” Bevin has repeatedly questioned the outcome of the election, suggesting — without evidence — that voter fraud took place.

Bevin’s last day in office is Dec. 9th.

Bevin is simply saying the quiet part loud, that the votes of urban dwellers — and blacks in particular — are less legitimate than the votes of white rural and exurban voters. https://t.co/4JVHL2CTFM pic.twitter.com/6k3M8oQRXA

Gracious as ever in defeat, KY Governor Matt Bevin accuses dems of “harvesting votes” in “urban cores” and bringing out more “less-informed people.” ?https://t.co/ILxr6gDbQ2

I’m old enough to remember when “harvesting votes in urban communities” was known as “getting out the vote” https://t.co/yL6MjjbIGp
