Why The Numbers Behind Mitch McConnell’s Re-Election Don’t Add Up
DCReport ^ | December 19, 2020 | Alison Greene

Posted on 12/19/2020 12:29:22 PM PST by Trump20162020

On a Thursday in August in Louisville, months before the 2020 election, a parade of cars filled with Kentucky Teamster representatives and labor groups, showed their fury at Mitch McConnell’s constant blocking of critical COVID aid. They drove by McConnell’s office raucously honking and bearing signs saying “Mitch better have my money.”

In 2017, a Public Policy Polling Survey asked Kentuckians, “Do you approve or disapprove of Senator Mitch McConnell’s job performance?” Only 18% approved. He clawed his rating back up to 39% on the eve of the election.

So, what exactly drove these angry Kentuckians to re-elect Mitch McConnell with a 19-point advantage over opponent Amy McGrath—57.8% to 38.2%?

Even as Republicans across the country still insist that the election was rife with fraudulent Democratic votes, no one’s asking how McConnell managed one of the most lopsided landslides of the Nov. 3 election. They should. An investigation of Kentucky voting results by DCReport raises significant questions about the vote tallies in McConnell’s state.

• McConnell racked up huge vote leads in traditionally Democratic strongholds, including counties that he had never before carried.
• There were wide, unexplained discrepancies between the vote counts for presidential candidates and down-ballot candidates.
• Significant anomalies exist in the state’s voter records. Forty percent of the state’s counties carry more voters on their rolls than voting-age citizens.
• Kentucky and many other states using vote tabulation machines made by Election Systems & Software all reported down-ballot race results at significant odds with pre-election polls.

2019.

Not really...Bevin kept putting his foot in his mouth, with the final clincher being on the eve of the election voicing support for tolls in Northern Kentucky. A lot of Republicans simply skipped the governor’s race, but did turn out for the down ballot.

We also had our votes in on election night and knew how many votes had been cast.

Yeah they are basically supporting the argument that fraud can be perpetrated on a massive scale.

Audit Mitch and the 5 POTUS states that seem shady.

Even if Mitch’s aren’t, they’ve made a good enough case for me to believe that it’s possible.

So get to it EVERYWHERE

“I will never believe that Dimslee and the Kook in Oregone got elected fair and square... “

Even the Libs hate Inslee. Not that it matters, there’ll never be an honest election in Washington state since Rossi won over Fraudoire.

When the fake news was assuring the country that mail in voting was perfectly sound using Washington State as proof, I knew the election was going to be stolen.

From the article:

“In 2017, a Public Policy Polling Survey asked Kentuckians, “Do you approve or disapprove of Senator Mitch McConnell’s job performance?” Only 18% approved. He clawed his rating back up to 39% on the eve of the election.

Right, because we all know that the polls are never biased towards Demonrats and always reflect the feelings of the people. /s

I question every election result since Obama. Don’t believe for a second that key republicans are not in on the vote rigging. They do not represent at us and only give the illusion they do. For the most part it’s one big club. I’m

Moscow Mitch threw 30 million American families under the bus.

20 to 30 million to lose all federal PEUC and PUA unemployment benefits next week or have already lost benefits (those exhausting 39 weeks - started mid-November). They no longer factor into the unemployment rate. Actually those running out of a state’s 12 to 26 week initial unemployment no longer get counted under U3 as they are no longer considered to be in the workforce.

Eviction moratoriums expire in 10 days. 10 to 20 million face evictions

Judgements allowed to go forward. Same 10 to 20 face wage garnishments starting January.

Country locked down and entire industries still closed.

Why did Mitch cruise to re-election? Why would the Democrats vote him out if he is a squishy moderate with no spine to force conservative legislation?

I think y'all are missing the point of this article.

The cogent point is that Mitch is COMPROMISED!

Please spend a little time following the money trail. Begin with his wife.

tabulation machines count by fractions also - just as fake as the ascension of the HarrrisXiden.

"Just another worthless blog....'

...and objective too....."pussy grabbing Trump."

Kentucky isn't a coastal elite region by any stretch. Populism and common sense are words I'd use from my distance. Strong 2A, I'd assume.

Why would Donald not do well. "Traditional Ds" as we knew them since JFK forward are not today's Ds in any respect. None. That likely includes union support, too.

Kentuckians closer to the situation can confirm.

Yep it been a conspiracy since the introduction of electronic tabulation and voting machines in 1960. Just ask Nixon and mayor Daley

Deepstate would’ve gladly given McConnell the win in exchange for pushing Trump to concede. Would certainly explain why Mitch was pleading with Republicans to accept Biden as the winner. Deepstate is used to working with McConnell anyway.

I was trying to draw attention to her totally gratuitous labelling of Trump and wondering why THAT would be the historical item she brings up.

They ran some crappy ones too. Those cartoons they showed during the GOP convention were retarded.

The ones in the weeks prior to the election were fairly good. I’m not sure if they were enough to erase the memory of the bad ones.
