Kentucky Election Night Reporting
Why is it that news organizations are ahead of official state sites when reporting election returns? The same thing is happening with the Kentucky results.
Well if anyone can get through to Mark Levin and tell him to remind people they have 30 minutes to get out and vote...and to call their conservative friends and families that live there (looks like Paducah has an affiliate that carries his show live).
Doesn’t matter...Fox NEWS is calling it for the Dem, even as we speak.
They called the state with the polls still *OPEN*?
Proof. Fox News is racist! Poor Lawerence Jones aka “Token”. I really like him.
Hopefully, Moonova is engaging in some Chris Stirewalt humor.
23 minutes to poll closing.
Per the NY Times (as much as I despise them, their election night results coverage is as good as there is out there):
With 2% in:
Cameron 57%
Beshear 43%

If fragmentary early (absentee) results are anything to go by — and probably even if they aren’t — we’re heading for a repeat of 2019 in Kentucky.
Republicans lose the Governor race, win everything else.
Jefferson County will probably dump their results around 8:00
- 9:00 PM - that will create a massive deficit for a GOP candidate you have to wait a long time for smaller counties to report in, including the western part of the state - where the polls are still open for about another 20 minutes.
“Republicans lose the Governor race, win everything else.”
I would not be surprised.
A lot of ticket splitting in Kentucky
Small number of absentee ballots reported so far show Cameron doing worse than the rest of Reps on the statewide ballot. Reps winning two thirds of absentee ballots except for Cameron who is losing slightly to Beshear.
Will the Governor’s race be the outlier?
It looks like they just did about over an hour earlier than that.
Some kind of dump just happened:
7% in:
Beshear 60%
Cameron 40%
It’s probably an oversimplification to say that the big supposedly Republican counties across the river from Cincinnati were what cost Bevin in 2019. Those counties are nominally Republican, but hardly conservative and are dominated by squishes, soccer mommies, etc.
Anyway, that trend looks (for now) to unfortunately be holding up in 2023. If Cameron can improve upon Bevin’s showing elsewhere in the state then he has a chance; if he can’t do that then he’s toast.
The Lousiville vote dumped in.
Ain't it funny how it's always REPUBLICANS who split their ticket!
This is how the press "explains" the Democrat winning. Just like we're supposed to believe in GA that republicans went all in for Kemp as governor but then voted for a radical communist for the Senate.
Not buying it.
Jefferson County (Louisville) just took a dump.
