Let's just say that I find it VERY hard to believe that rural Democrat turnout would drop by 30%+ in Kentucky for the first time in what appears to be decades during a General Election - let alone a Presidential.
Dems turned out higher to evict Bevin than they did Trump.
OI - dug a little deeper into Maine's numbers this year and they REALLY look weird now.
Mitchie-boy - I'm getting close enough to this wall I'm gonna find the cracks.
This is a "summary total" of votes cast in Maine's 2020 data, via @bangordailynews website.
Dems outperformed R's "in summary" statewide - except in one race.
-- so I'm just going to leave this here.

@bangordailynews That summary data includes statewide races for the Maine House and Senate -- and even there - Democrats "in summary" threw down more votes than Republicans.
#Kentucky, I haven't forgot about you - but we're going back a few years on your numbers -- because the game is different there...
Tacking on this thread, that addresses more "anomalies" throughout multiple states.
I posted a Google Sheets item - it is the numbers from 1990-2020** for Kentucky Election results - data sourced from state website - stats include POTUS / US SENATE / US CONGRESS.
Kentucky voter registrations (PARTY AFFILIATION) is set IF YOU VOTE IN THE PRIMARY ONLY - or if you EXPLICITLY CHANGE IT at your County Clerk's Office.
If a voter DOES NOT vote in a Kentucky Primary, their "party affiliation" MAY NOT BE ACCURATE.
There are some interesting stats in those numbers - such as weird alignments between primary vote turnout and general election turnout - as well as party shifts over the years in districts.
This is just raw data. I hate making charts -- maybe someone else wants to tinker...
At some point I will go back an additional 10 years into the 80's (to cover the Reagan numbers and years before Mitch McConnell was in office.
NOTES ON KENTUCKY VOTER REGISTRATIONS AND HOW IT AFFECTS VOTING DEMOGRAPHICS:
We're about to find out that the #NashvilleExplosion has MANY "key" elements that make it HIGHLY significant while "small" in nature.
🚨 🚨 🚨 🚨
A communications hub was attacked -- cell phone service is effected all the way into Kentucky - the AIRPORT IS NOW CLOSED.
1/
This occurred with in 3 BLOCKS of the State Capitol.
You pull off an event/attack like this in half a dozen more major cities, and you've managed to drop 90% of communications throughout the country - and affected air travel as well.
According to Article I, Section 3, Clause 4 of the Constitution, the Vice President is also the President of the Senate. The Majority Leader is not a position that exists anywhere in the Constitution.
1/
The reason that the Majority Leader has near-dictatorial powers to control floor votes is because of a tradition that dates back to 1937. The tradition is that the Vice President gives the floor leaders priority recognition. Most notably, this is not a rule in the Senate.
2/
Read the below article on the actual written rules and why the Majority Leader is so powerful today.
Unlike the House of Representatives, a most of the Senate rules are tradition - and McConnell will gladly tell you tradition is not written rule.
The basic concept still remains the same -- they just started the litigation to invalidate PA -- McConnell is riling up his people to sidestep the GA Sec of State - because there's funkiness going on in the GA election infrastructure --> cont.
<-- cont.
By throwing one of their own under the bus, they can "say" they did something - put even MORE of their own inside - and then do the runoff election in GA.
Loeffler has been caught AGAIN with MORE insider trading - and yet seems OVERLY CONFIDENT.
Understand how vote trimming works, and how the United States Postal Service was a KEY PLAYER in that effort to undermine and suppress the vote at the behest of the GOP.
Imagine a state with 100 counties.
Of those 100 counties, (1/8)
10 of them have "high populations" - it is statistically proven that 9 times out of 10, high population density areas lean Democrat.
The other 90 - they are "low to mid density".
Here's what happens:
Throughout the process, (2/8)
the USPS slowed mail delivery - on purpose - DO NOT IGNORE THIS FACT.
In MAJOR LARGE AREAS, larger numbers of items were "slowed" - this showed "noticeable" numbers in the statistics.
In "low density areas" those numbers are NOWHERE NEAR AS NOTICEABLE. (3/8)
