    <places tin foil hat on head>

    I believe that tedd cruz along with mitch mconnell and lindsey graham all cheated in their last win. All three were in what look like tight races but all three ended up winning by big-ish margins given the polling. I have no evidence other than a feeling but I just can’t shake that feeling is somehow not completely wrong.

    If any of my completely unfounded conspiracy is right then Allred ain’t going to win .

      <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?

        I mean, I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it seems like this could happen by Democrats not turning out to vote as much as their Republican counterparts in those areas.
