I've not indulged in this much but a few things nagging me: Gallrein ran a "Biden" shadow type campaign, had hardly any supporters or anything of substance yet managed to get so many votes ?

It's weird.

Watch his "victory" party! Compared to Massie's concession which had hundreds of cheering supporters.

Something is off in Kentucky.

Let’s all get together and push for election reform. Start with the SAVE America Act.

Maybe it was a CONTESTED PRIMARY with LOTS OF BUCKS and LOTS OF ADVERTISING involved, so the turnout increased from 8% to 16%.

Or, as Babylon Bee reported, all the ‘covert Jews’ in his district finally voted.

The cope is really getting annoying.

Must be something in the water. Rand, Massie, Mitch, a dem Governor and you. That's a superfecta.

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.

Anyone who's worked in politics (as I have) knows this to be 100% factually true:

The easiest and fastest way to beat somone, is do it in the primaries. They're typically low turnout races and energizing a base to get them to the polls is key to doing it.

Massie lost. He also made it easy to vote against him with his anti-Israel / anti-Jew statatements.

If there's one thing Kentucky voters know, and know well, it's their Bible. Hating Israel / being anti-Jew isn't in the Bible and God has a long, long history of punishing those who are.

Maybe it’s as simple as the golden Trump endorsement.

Paxton went up 22% in the two days after Trump’s endorsement.

SOME PEOPLE actually WANT America to be great again. Not you or Massie, but SOME PEOPLE.

The perfect comments under that post:

It was the most expensive House primary in history, dumbass. Of course turnout was going to be up. Just because you’re stupid does not mean voter fraud occurred.

That’s what happens when you piss off your constituents by doing the opposite of what they put you in the office to do. It’s fine to have “principles” but when you are a representative you need to follow the will of the people you represent, that’s literally your only job.

I used to live in KY-04 and now sit just one county over on the line. Monday night I spoke with friends and family who told me they were eager to be at the polls at 6 a.m.—specifically to vote against Massie.
In a district that gave Trump roughly 65% in 2016, 2020, and 2024, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. When KY voters see an incumbent as disloyal to the president who dominates the district, it’s a heck of motivator to show up. Massie lost this seat the moment he started openly and repeatedly clashing with Trump.

Evangelicals are the most pro-Israel faction of the GOP. 70% support continued aid to Israel. The average NYC Jewish liberal thinks of Evangelicals as snaggle-toothed inbreds, but Evangelicals don’t reciprocate the feeling. Jews slant towards Catholics, 35% of whom view Jews favorably. In practical terms, how much less favorably? Spain has a festival celebrated to the present day called Kill the Jews (matar judios).

Long story short, Evangelicals in KY showed up in force against Massie. Catholic inquisitors, not so much.

Massie thought of himself as a pied piper, someone who would lead his constituents to a Nazi Valhalla. Except his online constituents were mostly foreign Muslims or Nazis (or both). People who voted for him this time are probably unaware of his Nazi affiliations. But voters don’t change their opinions. They expect their candidates to do their bidding. This is how an open borders, gun-grabbing enthusiast like Trump became a border enforcer and 2A guardian. It was bend to the will of his voters, or lose.

Massie wanted to be a Nazi more than he wanted to bend to the will of his constituents. So his voters ended his tenure. David Duke won the GOP primary but got only 40% of the general election vote in LA. In political terms, Massie has Nazi tattooed all over him. If he had won the primary, he might have lost the general.

Lay off the shrooms Rand, this was a primary Kentuckians didn’t want to lose. They turned out for Trump. Sorry it pains you so much.

This is nonsense.

The polls showed that Massie's support came from young voters who didn't turn out, and Gallrein's support came from older voters who did turn out.

Also, check out the published daily early vote turnout metrics. This shows that the surge in voters was real.
