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.

Evangelicals probably like Israeli Jews more than they like secular U.S. Jews. Massie’s hatred of Israel was guaranteed loss in a state like Kentucky.
Early voter turnout in Kentucky Saturday, just days before Election Day, was significantly higher than the Saturday turnout for the 2022 primary, according to Secretary of State Michael Adams.
Adams said on X Monday that 46,955 people voted Saturday, a 74% increase compared to 2022. Between absentee voting and in-person early voting, 184,992 people had voted as of Monday morning. That’s just over 5% of registered voters in Kentucky.
“As a quarter of the vote now typically is cast before the last voting day, I hold to my expectation of just north of 20% turnout in the May 2026 primary,” Adams said on X.
Secretary of State Michael Adams is still expecting his voter turnout prediction for the 2026 primary election to come true after many Kentucky residents took advantage of the early voting period.
The early voting window opened Thursday, May 14, and stayed open through Saturday. Friday saw the most early voter traffic at 57,380 voters, followed by Thursday with 51,088 early voters and Saturday with 46,955 early voters, according to Adams.
Only 28,327 Kentuckians voted on the first day of no-excuse early voting during the 2022 primary election, meaning Thursday’s turnout was an 80% increase, according to Adams.
A majority of the 155,423 people who used no excuse early voting were registered Republicans, according to Adams. A total of 91,223 Republicans used early voting along with 62,443 Democrats and 1,757 independents.
Including absentee voting, 184,992 Kentuckians have voted so far in this election, 5.4% of registration. As a quarter of the vote now typically is cast before the last voting day, I hold to my expectation of just north of 20% turnout in the May 2026 primary.— Michael Adams, KY Secretary of State (@KYSecState) May 18, 2026
The 2022 primary election saw 726,599 voters — 20.4% of registered voters — show up to the polls, according to data from the Secretary of State’s office. Early voting statistics weren’t immediately available.

In other words, at least Tucker had enough decency to not excrete where he eats.
Bring back the butterfly ballot.
I think what a lot of freepers here are lamenting is not the loss of Massie persay, but the destruction of the establishment GOP.
For so many narcissistic politicians like Massie, it was easy to be an establishment Rino and spout high minded ideals throwing occasional bones to the base. Then came Trump, the non politician who destroyed their comfortable establishment club.
This primary season has been a glorious sight to behold. I don’t believe MAGA is going away anytime soon. Its gaining momentum. Case in point: Ken Paxton despite his flaws, embodies MAGA and with the Presidents endorsement just shot up 22 points overnight.
You know how hard this has hit is the fact that Cornyn’s buddy, Thune, another endangered Rino, has just closed the Senate down while valuable legislation sits idle. The equivalent of grabbing ones toys and running home to mommie.
MAGA has power. Sharp and decisive like a volcano. Thune would be well advised to take note. But like Massie, he is a narcissistic political animal. I doubt he will heed the warning of this Vesuvius beginning its eruption.
Libertarians need to fight for their values under the Libertarian banner, not the Republican banner. When the talking is over and the congressman won’t support the majority Republican caucus, they’re in the wrong Party. The message of this primary is clear: go support your own Liberarian values elsewhere... Republicans should support Republicans. Kentucky Republicans seem to agree. Simple.
“ As I said ive not pushed this at all or indulged in it.”
Until now, you mean.

“God blesses those who bless Israel and curses those who curse Israel.”
Does God have a similar promise to Christians who actually worship him?
That promise was made directly to Abraham, not Jews, who have rejected him for thousands of years.
Gallrein was no doubt advised that by keeping a low profile he would not draw attention from the negative campaign against Massie.
And voter and ballot fraud
Last night when I saw the 22-point upward soar for Paxton I was ... YIPPEE!
Sadly, Thune isn’t up for re-election until 2028.
Seek help....or at least a sense of proportionality and perspective
There are some very good posts showing that he lost in most legit of ways. He earned it.
You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind.
This is crazed nonsense you are posting here. You're making a fool out of yourself. Please stop. Take the loss with decorum instead of this BS.
Massie had a small but extremely vocal group of core supporters, which made it appear that his overall strength for reelection was much higher than it really was. Conservative Republicans do not commit election fraud. It’s time to move on.

April polling showed Kenton County as Massie's biggest base. May polling showed Kenton County swinging to Gallrein. The charts in the link above show Kenton County with the smallest voter turnout.
"Leaners" broke for Gallrein, as did rural and Appalachian counties. Boone County went for Gallrein by +10.
That's why Massie lost.

So what are their plans that you are forseeing?
This inquiring mind wants to know...
Does Kentucky use RCV-enabled electronic voting machines?
If so, why?!
And 5 time Trump voter😂
This is all based off a simple thing. DOGE! A lot has changed since Elon’s nerd army descended on Washington.
