Democrats: 282,400 + 156,000 = 438,400
Republicans: 116,000 + 197,300 = 313,300
And I’d say ‘at least’ 25% of Democrats are crossover to Trump
Yes, I agree with that. I think that will be the surprise Dems can’t defend against.
Only 80,000 margin 13 days before election?
Correct.
Many counties would not allow people to register to vote as Republicans. Republican = Lincoln and party that protected blacks.
All the south was Democrat for decades.
I had to go and get my plates renewed yesterday at the county courthouse....same place where early voting was taking place. there was a line to vote and I can guaranteee that most of them were trump voters.
That is what I keep saying. Just because it went out as a “Democrat” ballot, doesn’t mean it is a vote for Biden. No article ever mentions this possibility. I am glad you did.
25 years ago, Kentucky Democrats outnumbered Republicans 3 to 1. Today, it’s almost evenly split. All this article proves is that old Democrats are voting by mail because they fear the China virus. Trump will win Ky by 30.
> And I’d say ‘at least’ 25% of Democrats are crossover to Trump <
Right. I am a registered Democrat (if you want a building permit in my town, you had better be a registered Democrat).
Anyhow, the last time I voted for a Democrat presidential candidate was, well, never.
I worked my democrat majority county’s early voting polling place on Monday (training for election day). Most voters were 50+ and I’d bet my next check that Trump was killing it. Democrats, sure, but Legacy Democrats and these Kentucky democrats are not enthused about a corrupt communist.
Pubs do not trust that their mail in votes will be counted especially after the game the democrats played with polling places.
The Eastern and Southern parts of Jefferson country had none, until hell was raised. And yes, those are GOP strongholds.
I’ve been a registered rat through my entire adult life but have never voted for an actual rat for anything other than in rat vs rat council primary elections.
Dems have a 48.4 - 42.4 registration edge.
Yet the state has been mostly Republican in presidential elections for decades now

Slick Willy was the last Democrat who won the state. Even “Hope and Change” failed to crack the code.
66% of the dims who asked for mail in ballots and 88% of the the Republicans? What’s the problem?
“And I’d say ‘at least’ 25% of Democrats are crossover to Trump”
Yes, Kentucky actually IS a state where there’s routinely significant crossover by Dems voting Republican at the top of the ticket, and comparatively little of the opposite (Republicans voting for the D candidate).
Beware applying that theory universally, though. It’ll work well in Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi — all of them former one-party Democrat states, many of whose voters now wouldn’t cross the street to spit on Joe Biden if he were on fire — but analysts who are building in the same assumptions to their number-crunching in the critical swing states are much likelier to be wrong about that.
Now lets check everyone of those vote for authenticity. And contact everyone of those voters to see if they really voted.
IN this commonwealth, there are a lot of “democrats” who just never bothered to change their party affiliation. I would not worry about this.
Party affiliation means less today than it ever has in my lifetime.
Democrats in Kentucky will vote republican and then swear up and down that they didn’t. If you want a job with the state or as a teacher, you register as a democrat in this state.
