***GOP Rep. Andy Barr in trouble in KY-06!!!!***

38% of the vote in and he's down 58-41% to Josh Hicks.

I actually tweeted the Cook Political Report and Dave Wasserman that they are discounting KY-06. This is a swing district and Josh Hicks ran an impeccable campaign here. He's like the Jon Tester of Kentucky. In their defense, this district was never polled, but I knew Barr was in trouble. Cook had this a Safe (R) seat.

This is the same district that McGrath lost in 2018.

Early vote is already in, so it's likely to swing heavily R as the vote counts continue. TwilightZone Nov 2020 #1
Same day voting gets counted first Wanderlust988 Nov 2020 #5

That KY can't be called right now is a good omen. roamer65 Nov 2020 #2
Polls haven't closed yet. TwilightZone Nov 2020 #7
Yes, Kentucky is usually called within 30 minutes of polls closing - NT Hokie Nov 2020 #9
Is that just the early mail in votes? Claustrum Nov 2020 #3

I hope McConnell is in trouble, as well. I know that probably isn't going to happen, but... Frustratedlady Nov 2020 #4

I would recommend not getting too excited yet. This is going to repeated a zillion times tonight in various states.

If so, it would skew democrats. When the election day votes come in, it would change the numbers.

He's as evil as Trump in my book.
