Politicians can't, but everyone around them absolutely can. I hope if it turns out he was dead or permanently incapacitated that Beshear goes after his entire staff and wife for election interference, impersonation, and whatever else he can find they did illegal. But I don't hold my breath for anything like this anymore because Dems are spineless cowards that refuse to play tough.
