Incumbent Matt Bevin Concedes In Kentucky Governor's Race

After narrowly losing to Democrat Andy Beshear, Republican Governor Matt Bevin requested a recanvass to ensure votes were counted correctly. Despite claiming election irregularities, Bevin did not expect the recanvass to change the outcome. President Trump had campaigned for Bevin before the election. Beshear confirmed his victory via Twitter, and the transition to his governorship began smoothly. He is set to be sworn in on December 10th, following in the footsteps of his father, former Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear.

What did Bevin claim about the election that led him not to concede initially?

When is Beshear scheduled to be sworn in as governor?
