I've lived in KY-04 my entire life and closely follow the election results here. There is no way that the turnout legitimately doubled. This was election fraud carried out by the highest levels of our state & federal governments.

You posted a link with more data before I went to post this, but, I bothered doing it, so...
So, just for the record - “kentucky statesman” is full of crap. Let’s take a look.
In 2024 Massie received 278,386 votes
In 2022 Massie received 167,541 votes
In 2020 Massie received 256,613 votes
Those are all November numbers against the Democrat. But what about primaries in those years:
In 2024 Massie received 39,929 votes of 52,593 total votes cast in the Republican primary
In 2022 Massie received 50,301 votes of 66,874 total votes cast in the Republican primary
In 2020 Massie received 68,591 votes of 84,683 total votes cast in the Republican primary
Massie was uncontested the three primaries before that. Pretty clear, right? Massie had either no opponent or no serious opponent in the Republican primaries for cycle after cycle and as a result participation in Republican primaries went down, year after year after year.
But what happened this year?
Ed Gallrein received 57,822 votes
Thomas Massie received 47,539 votes
105,539 votes total.
So,the total number of votes wasn’t hugely bigger than in 2020, with a not-at-all serious challenger that year. But what happened that was different this year? A very serious challenger (obviously) and Trump publicized the crap out of the election. To boot, as Massie’s fans repeated time and time again - spending in this election was absolutely unprecendented - ON BOTH SIDES. All spending by Gallrein and independent spending in support of Gallrein definitely bested Massie - but much less than 2x - and Massie and independent spending in support of Massie eclipsed any money ever spent by Massie or any other candidate in any other election in that district. So - to repeat that - in all of the election history of this district, spending for Gallrein was #1 all-time and spending for Massie was #2 all-time.
Massie got nearly as more votes on Tuesday than he got in the 2024 primary and nearly as many votes as he got in the 2022 primary. And that’s on top of the fact that while he still had a solid base in his district, he really pissed a lot of people off going after Trump and with all of his recent anti-semitic rhetoric. But the total primary votes are less than half of Republican votes cast in the average of the last three general elections, so it’s not some unimaginable number by the remotest stretch of the imagination. There was national press and a crapload of money focused on this election - so participation was up - SHOCKER!
Massie made his bed - now he’s sleeping in it. But there’re no Jews hiding under his bed.
What’s regrettable is that Trump forgives and forgets over and over, and did so with Massie - but when Trump was trying to force Bondi to get the docs out Massie was blaming Trump AND CLAIMING THE FILES SHOWED TRUMP WAS A PEDO and Trump really doesn’t want them out.
All three assertions are proven lies, now, and Massie knew it when he said it all. It was finally too many times for Trump.
Regrettable? Look in the mirror.
Or do you regret that Massie did all of that (because to date Massie has shown no regret)? If you were Trump, what would you have done?
RF>> “there are people on X doing the math”
MM>> There are people on X twerking, too.
🤣👍🏻
Seriously dude, give it up.
Did you not see that Kamala Harris got millions of votes?

I've crunched a few numbers myself about the 2020 election. It's very hard to believe that Biden got 12,000,000 more votes than Obama did in 2008 while winning 332 fewer counties.

It just ain’t right to get our hopes up by lying to us!!! 🤣
As with so many on the left, you promise to shut up or go away if Massie lost, yet here you are again. Gove it a rest.
Pretty sure KY has dominion machines, and I am positive if this is true, they have been used to keep turtle in his seat.
Why they would be used to oust massie in a fraud filled election is the question, since Massie is for the most part Team mitch.
😂
It was the Jooooooos !
most likely due to this being the most expensive House election in the history of the United States, which indicates a YUGE interest by the voters in the district ...
