I agree with the effect, but not with the cause.
I no longer believe there is widespread vote fraud. Some? Yes. Enough to swing close elections? Yes. Enough to swing marginal elections where Dem lawfare commandos parachute in to conduct just enough recounts to win? Yes.
But widespread? Nope. Reason is that the Dems don’t need to. Read the Breitbart article on Romney’s Orca system, and the PJMedia one on Catalist.
Big Data rules and the Dems have unlocked the key to getting close to 100% of their “must vote” voters to the polls. To the point where they can completely disregard the political center. Republicans lag far, far behind.
This is what I think may be at work in KY. McConnell should win by 5 points or so. Close, but it’s probably his last race so good enough.
Grimes’s strategy right now seems to be based solely on driving up McConnell’s negatives. Denying him independents but also failing to pull centrists over to her. Basically she’s suppressing independents, trying to turn the race into a battle of base turnout. If she knows she can use big data to generate above normal midterm turnout in places like Louisville and Lexington, she knows she’s got the race in the bag.
“use big data to generate above normal midterm turnout”

I don’t have a clue what that means.
Correct, Big Data rules.
