Bottom line -

KY - 1,678,538 registered Dems -
Less than half voted after record-breaking registrations?

Biden 750,597 (can& #39;t be right)
McGrath 793,729 (can& #39;t be right)

Can& #39;t let this go.

1,477,985 Republicans are registered in KY
Trump got 89.0% of that number
McConnell got 82.7%

1,678,538 Democrats are registered in KY
Biden got 44.74% of that number
McGrath got 47.29%

Why did Democrats get less than 50% the number of registered Democrats while Republicans got nearly 90% the number of registered Republicans?

Somebody in Kentucky is keeping Democrats from voting.
