    As someone from Kentucky, I could’ve sworn that I saw reports coming out that the margin McConnell was winning by in some rural counties was higher than the ratio of registered Republicans to Democrats. Implying that a large swath of rural democrats were voting for McConnell. Now, I don’t claim to know every democrat in the state. However, every democrat I met hates the guy and a lot of republicans hold their nose voting for him.

    Also as quickly as I saw those reports, they vanished. Myriad of reasons to explain things, but sure seems odd, right?

      I mean, I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it seems like this could happen by Democrats not turning out to vote as much as their Republican counterparts in those areas.

      Okay, I’m glad you said you saw reports about that too. It’s where my conspiracy theory started, but then there hasn’t been anything since so I genuinely gas lighted myself.

      Hell it could be that there wasn’t anything there to report on, but it did disappear quickly and quietly.
