Kentucky breaks record for registered voters, just in time to send McConnell packing his bags

According to the Kentucky Secretary of State's Office, 48% of Kentucky voters are registered as Democrats, 43% are Republicans, and 9% are "listed under other affiliations."

First elected to the Senate in 1984, McConnell faces some headwinds this year, even in a state that supported Trump by a 30-point margin in 2016. According to Morning Consult, McConnell is the second least popular senator in the county, bested only by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in that category. While 50% of Kentuckians disapprove of McConnell, only 37% approve.

...Moscow Mitch. But 1.4 million people came out to vote, where only 975K voted in the last election. Huge voter turnouts don’t benefit Republicans. At all. Color me hopeful.

Trump would of course be first, but then, in order:
McConnell, Barr and Pompeo.
Then, I would go for the asshole I will actually get to vote against, Little Lindsey.

I think we have the numbers. But paper ballots that are then run through electronic scanning devices, or in any way counted electronically, can be hacked.

Pootie is probably running 3 twelve hour shifts a day, putting together the computer code that will do it. What are we doing? Nothing, if the republicans have their way. They know that is the ONLY way they can win.

We can take NOTHING for granted.

I have no idea what the democratic party can do to prevent this clusterfuck, but they better do something.
