Doesn't it seem odd that in Ballard County Kentucky the State Board of Elections shows 2285 registered REPUBLICAN voters as of Oct 2020 yet 3155 people voted for Mitch McConnell?
Ballard County also has 3966 registered Dems but Amy McGrath only got 936 votes?
And theres more...
In Bath County Kentucky with 2478 registered REPUBLICAN voters McConnell got 3537 votes?
And with 6730 registered Dems in Bath McGrath only got 1827 votes?
What are the chances that 1000+ registered Dems voted for Mitch & almost 5000 Dems didn't vote for Amy?
And theres more..
Elliott County Kentucky has 860 registered Republicans yet Mitch got 1958 votes?
Many other counties had this type of anomalies where Mitch got way more votes than they have Republican voters but there are other elements of the Kentucky Senate race that should be investigated...
Not only is there a weird pattern of Mitch getting more votes than a county has registered Republicans but Kentucky hasn't counted all their Absentee votes.
655,000 people in Kentucky requested absentee ballots but only 329,869 were counted. What happened to the other 325,131🤔
The GOP seem to have used 'a bag of tricks' to mess with the results. It's a combination of things that includes
👉Somehow getting more Republican votes then there are Republican voters
👉Significant absentee votes not being counted
👉Suppressing the Vote in key Democrat counties
And we can prove it by simply contacting registered Dems. Call them in counties like Ballard & ask who they voted for? Ask:
👉Did they vote?
&
👉Did they vote with their party?
If Amy got 936 votes but we can show 1000+ Dems who voted for her we can go to court with affidavits🤔
This thread looks at Kentucky but we should investigate a few races (Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, Ernst)
Not only should we be fighting for Georgia, but lets look into this. The GOP claim fraud so let 'em prove their own races are legitimate...lets investigate GOP SENATE RACES
For the sources of the numbers I've quoted I got the data directly from the Registration Statistics & Election results published on the Commonwealth of Kentucky State Board of Elections site.

I hope the Media & @AmyMcGrathKY will look into all of this.

(10,005 posts)named Alison Greene is wrong.
Some people do not vote for candidates that are in the party they are registered with. A registration does not equal a vote.
As I said in yesterdays post about this - who is Alison Greene and why is she is so ignorant about how people vote?
This is a grade-school level conspiracy theory.

The Democratic Party and Amy McGrath won't be claiming the election was stolen.

(355 posts)In my county, there are certainly more registered Democrats, but a great number of these people vote Republican. My mother is one of them. My father was one but he just changed his registration to Republican a few years ago. There is a slow trickle of people actually changing their registration, but a great many remain Democrats so they can have more say in local elections, which have tended to favor Democrats, but that is starting to change. This is Kentucky politics.

(7,984 posts)was totally bassackwards in the vote totals. I've been saying this since the second day of voting in NC. My extended family member who was running as a republican for an office, told me that here, in my democratic majority county, that by the second day of voting, it was almost all republicans coming out to vote, told to him by the county election official.
No. It wasn't. Not possible at all.
This is how they steal a state. They go to tiny rural counties and steal the heck out of votes for the big races. That is how Tillis won. AND, btw, my republican family member, running for county office, didn't win his race, and yet our county went red.
Like I say...no friggin' way was this a good tally.

(22,441 posts)than showed up in the results they should have a revote - with paper.
EDIT from Wikipedia:
"With a 49% disapproval rate in 2017, McConnell had the highest disapproval rating of all senators.[151]
In September 2019, the Morning Consult found that his approval rating had been underwater since the first quarter of 2017, when it was 44% positive and 47% negative. "

(34,120 posts)It could be that the general US population hates McConnell, while the people of Kentucky love him no matter what he does. Remember, these are the people who love the Kentucky health plan - which was actually part of the ACA - while they hate the ACA, or as they call it, Obamacare.

It is certainly not an anomaly for people in Kentucky to be registered as Democrats yet vote Republican.

(355 posts)I can't stand McConnell, but this claim that registered Democrats voting for him somehow means significant fraud is ludicrous to anybody who lives in Eastern Kentucky.

(16 posts)In 2016, Russian hackers targeted voting systems in 21 states and, according to Special Counsel Robert Muellers report, breached systems in Illinois and two counties in Florida, gaining access to information on millions of registered voters. In his report, Mueller described the Russian governments interference in the 2016 elections as sweeping and systematic.
Three years later, security experts warn that not enough has been done to address vulnerabilities in the U.S. election system. The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations recently told Congress that the threats just keep escalating, adding that he viewed the 2018 midterms as a dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020.
In fourteen states, some 2018 midterm voters submitted their votes on touchscreens that did not produce paper trails necessary to verify their votes or audit election outcomes. If votes had been inaccurately processed in these precincts whether through equipment errors or foreign hacking operations election officials wouldnt have been able to find or correct the problems.
