| Bevin GOP nominee for governor |
Statewide
recanvasses conducted Thursday did not change the results of the
Republican primaries for governor/lieutenant governor and commissioner
of agriculture. Today, James Comer and Chris
McDaniel conceded the gubernatorial election, and no recount will be
conducted. Accordingly, the State Board will certify Matt Bevin and Jenean
Hampton as Republican nominees for governor/lieutenant governor and Ryan
Quarles as the Republican nominee for Commissioner
of Agriculture.
“Our 120 county clerks and county boards of elections did an outstanding job in quickly and accurately confirming the results of the election,” said Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. “I am grateful to them for ensuring that voters and candidates alike can be confident in the integrity and reliability of Kentucky’s elections.”
Today, Grimes announced that the State Board of Elections will meet on June 8 to certify the results of the May 19 primary election and issue certificates of nomination to the candidates who received the most votes.
Vote totals for all elections remain unofficial until certified by the State Board of Elections.
