Believe it or not, McConnell is elected by popular vote in the state. Crazy, right?

<places tin foil hat on>

As someone from Kentucky, I could’ve sworn that I saw reports coming out that the margin McConnell was winning by in some rural counties was higher than the ratio of registered Republicans to Democrats. Implying that a large swath of rural democrats were voting for McConnell. Now, I don’t claim to know every democrat in the state. However, every democrat I met hates the guy and a lot of republicans hold their nose voting for him.

Also as quickly as I saw those reports, they vanished. Myriad of reasons to explain things, but sure seems odd, right?
