We will be using best case scenario for Reps and Worst case scenario for Dems
Reps = 1 893 046
Dems = 1 672 380
= 3 565 426 registered voters.
There is a difference of 2 votes for their sum and the sum of all on the registered data excel- I don't know where these 2 votes are but it's a non-issue going forward. We will go with the 3 565 426 registered voters going forward as opposed to 3 565 428 reg voters in the excel.
Assuming all Rep + other voters voted for Mitch McConnell he would receive:
Caution: Before continuing all this data above is from Kentucky's voter registration from OCTOBER 2020. We don't have the data from November so this may well have changed.
There are a lot of assumptions here based on the October data.
Results of 2020 senate race:
Mitch McConnell won by a massive margin of THOSE who voted.
With >95% votes counted:
- McConnell won with 57.77% of the vote.
- McGrath lost with 38.24% of the vote.
Using registration data from Oct 2020 we can assume that:
Actual voters vs Registered voters =
Republicans = 1 233 061 / 1568690 = 78% turnout
Democrats = 816 150 / 1672380 = 49% turnout
We don't have the data to determine all other registered voters influence on turnout.
Even this turnout disparity raises some massive questions:
- How effective was voter suppression efforts/tactics in Kentucky?
- Did voters switch party reg before the election?
- What caused the discrepancy between turnout & registration?
- Was there something more nefarious?
Here's a poll averaging the favorability/unfavorability of McConnell in the lead up to election.
Average
Favourable = 27.3%
Unfavourable = 50.5%
Difference = 23.2%
We don't take polls as gospel but they do raise questions. Were the polls wrong or did something else happen?
Remember McConnell is senate majority leader. He has massive influence on what bills are passed & sway among Republicans.
He is one of the most powerful men in America w/ very many powerful friends & any elections in which he's a participant should be scrutinized very closely.
A brief history of Mitch McConnell: 1) He has blocked at least 10 election security bills including
2) McConnel blocked the Heroes Act which would have given $3.6 billion to states for election aid and give the postal service $25 billion to the Postal Service to help with vote-by-mail.
4) The GOP then killed all efforts to secure the 2020 election, including the #SAFEAct, which would have required robust manual election audits to confirm electronic outcomes in all federal races.
5) See my 45+ examples of other GOP related attacks on democracy which McConnell has allowed for/enabled during his tenure as Leader of the Senate:
- Voter suppression
- Allow foreign interference
- Dismantling USPS
- Misinfo
- Voter/counter intimidation
Wrap up:
- Feel free to check my maths (I'm no maths major)
- The Kentucky race results raises MANY questions
- The power imbalance between McGrath/McConnell also raises issues for a fair election.
- The only way we will know answers is for a completely Independent audit.
Let's ENHANCE and look at individual counties.
Hopskins County - Kentucky
Registration data:
Democrats: 18657
Republicans: 14500
All others: 2,565
Total = 35 732
Best case scenario for Republicans = 17 065
So how did the election go?
McConnell = 14 247 votes
McGrath = 6 066 votes
That is a whopping 98% turn out for McConnell (excluding other voters)
And McGrath's turn out = 32% (excluding other voters)
What happened here?
🧐THIS IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY WEIRD‼️
How about Bath County Kentucky?
Registration data:
Democrats: 6730
Republicans: 2478
All others: 519
Total = 9727
Best case scenario for Republicans = 2997
So how did the election go in Bath county?
McConnell = 3537 (+142% turn out)
McGrath = 1827 (27% turn out)
Total votes = 5610 (+<246 for anyone other than Lib)
Miraculously Mitch McConnell 540 MORE votes then our BEST case scenario.
So we're left with some questions
- Why did only 27% of registered Dems vote (or get counted)?
- What happened to the other 73% (>5000) of registered Dem votes? Did they vote? Was their vote mysteriously "lost"?
- How did McConnell gain 1000+ votes.
Let's not forget McConnell is beholden to Kremlin linked Russian Oligarchs.
These Kremlin linked Russian Oligarchs have alot of control over Kentucky and are heavily invested in their factories and basically saved its economy.
Talk about all the active measures by Trump/GOP/RUS to alter election results and undermine confidence in the electoral process.
- Voter suppression
- Dismantling USPS
- Colluding/extorting foreign countries
- Voter/counter intimidation
- Hacking
Just be VERY careful about playing into their game of attempting to discredit the WHOLE election. They want to and their main goal is to discredit democracy and the electoral process.
If I had to select one to push at this time I would perhaps only select the dismantling of the USPS and that the only evidence of "voter fraud" is from republicans.
Picture this - part 1
- Trump & his Admin held accountable for their crimes
- Police accountability
- Major investigation into FB/Social media and our data.
- True sanctions on any foreign countries who interfere in elections
- An independent electoral commision
Picture this - part 2
- Independent watchdogs reinstated for all department Trump has fired
- Universal healthcare
- No life time appointed supreme court judges
- Decrease the riches ability to tax dodge
- Expunging minor drug offences
Picture this - part 3
- Presidents should be vetted by an independent commission for security threats and foreign links.
- Presidents should have to release their tax returns to run.
- Compulsory voting to encourage voting and to prevent effective disillusionment campaigns
