LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Governor Matt Bevin made several claims earlier this week about possible voter fraud or improper procedures during the election, but just how true are those claims?

One of the allegations Bevin made Wednesday was that votes weren't properly stored.

"In Jefferson County, there were a number of machines that did not work properly, so ballots were taken and just put in open boxes and people were told they would be scanned in later. They may have been, they may not have been, we truly don't know," Bevin said. "But it's not typical that people would be asked to give a ballot that's supposed to be kept in confidence and scanned into a machine and just put it in a box, and this happened in multiple locations."

So did that happen in Jefferson County? Spokesman Nore Ghibaudy with the clerk's office said no.

"That's really an interesting theory. I don't know where he got his information, I have no idea, but that's not how it works under any circumstances. First of all, the equipment we have in Jefferson County is a year and a half old, and it has been approved by the Kentucky Secretary of State's office as well as the federal (election authorities) before that equipment was approved," Ghibaudy said. "The only reason it would possibly jam is the ballot was folded, it was bent, whatever it may be, but if that happens, throughout Jefferson County, we have technicians that are all in place that can be at a polling location very quickly."

And he said if a machine did jam or malfunction for any reason, the paper ballots would be stored in the actual voting machine itself until a technician fixed the problem. Then those ballots would be scanned under the watch of people from both parties to ensure it's done fairly.

Bevin also claimed voters being turned away at the polls.

"We know that there are reports of people having been turned away, incorrectly turned away, from various voting booths around the state; again, things that need to be corroborated and looked into," Bevin said.

There was one issue in Jefferson County related to this claim: Police put a polling place at Bowen Elementary School in Lyndon on lockdown because of an armed robbery that happened nearby, but Ghibaudy said hours at that polling place were extended 45 minutes because of that.

"That time was extended to give them the same 12 hours to vote. So you don't endanger people to let them in, but in the area, we found that there were quite a few people that did come back as they said," Ghibaudi said. "But you don't turn people away at a polling location anywhere in the city."

Bevin also claimed that thousands of absentee ballots were counted improperly, but Ghibaudy said that didn't happen in Jefferson County, and The Secretary of State's office has not reported any issues in any other counties.

Messages seeking comment from Bevin's campaign team regarding this story were not returned.
