Why the numbers behind Mitch McConnell's re-election don't add up

[Galraedia]

On a Thursday in August in Louisville, months before the 2020 election, a parade of cars filled with Kentucky Teamster representatives and labor groups, showed their fury at Mitch McConnell's constant blocking of critical COVID aid. They drove by McConnell's office raucously honking and bearing signs saying “Mitch better have my money."

In 2017, a Public Policy Polling Survey asked Kentuckians, “Do you approve or disapprove of Senator Mitch McConnell's job performance?" Only 18% approved. He clawed his rating back up to 39% on the eve of the election.

McConnell, leader of Senate Republicans, rarely holds town hall meetings with Kentucky voters—not since a heated exchange with an angry constituent went viral.

So, what exactly drove these angry Kentuckians to reelect Mitch McConnell with a 19-point advantage over opponent Amy McGrath—57.8% to 38.2%?

2. They have it right IMHO

trump always accuses others of doing what he does - it's like a beacon for prosecutors. Have always thought Graham and McConnell got in illegally.

4. Proof is required for voter fraud.

McConnell was leading in the polls by double digits and 538 gave him a 96% chance of winning. There is no evidence of fraud that could change the election outcome in the 2020 elections.
