Almost three years after Democrat Andy Beshear won the Kentucky gubernatorial race besting Republican Matt Bevin, false claims that the election was a fraud have resurfaced on social media.
A Facebook video shared July 10 shows a clip of vote counts from the Kentucky gubernatorial race as they were coming in to CNN. The clip in the video is taken from the Nov. 5, 2019, broadcast of ''Anderson Cooper 360,'' and it is accompanied by a voiceover from an outside narrator. Before the clip starts, "SMOKING GUN VOTE FRAUD CAUGHT ON CNN" appears on screen.
At the beginning of the clip, the CNN graphic displaying the current vote count shows Beshear has 673,948 votes and Bevin has 662,235 votes. But a few frames later, the graphic in the clip is updated, and Beshear's lead over Bevin grows. Then, the clip shows Beshear has 674,508 votes and Bevin has 661,675 votes – a change of 560 votes for each candidate.
“At the exact same second that Andy Beshear has gone up 560 votes, Matt Bevin has gone down 560 votes,” the man commenting about the CNN report says. “This is vote-switching in the computer.”
The caption of the post reads "Lulz at CNN for the constant fake news and this election fraud in plain sight. You all are not slick. Btw it was done in all electios (sic) in 2020."
