       The truly brilliant thing about the right claiming 2020 was a rigged election, is that it makes it nearly impossible for the Dems to make that claim if and when it actually happens in favor of the GOP.The corporate media would NEVER report the actual shenanigans, but there were statistical red flags in both Lindsay Graham's race and McConnell's.Both of these races needed a proper audit, but we don't do that here in the US. We only pretend we care about democracy.

       @Ricardus Kentucky resident here. Most folks outside of KY don’t understand the political dynamic. There were in fact up until a year or two ago more registered D than R in the state, but that doesn’t mean those registered D weren’t very conservative. Local races were all on the D ticket and frequently resolved in the primaries, which are closed in KY. Many of these conservative D voters were reliable R voters for statewide/fed offices. No red flags for people who live here

       @kirkman I saw the statistical breakdowns when it happened. But I can't find them anymore.But nonetheless, in important races, they should be audited very thoroughly.I mean we saw what the cheaters were willing to do IN THE OPEN in GA (my very recent new home) in the last Gov election. Removing machines from black districts, and then basically publicly laughing about it (the state's AG). So if they're willing to do that in the open, I can only imagine what happens behind closed doors.

       @Ricardus I’m just saying (along with several local journalists working the political beat in KY) that the widespread narrative of irregularities in McConnell’s 2020 election appears unfounded. Doesn’t mean modern R’s play by the rules by any stretch, but all the attention on this race is distracting from real problems. KY is a *very* red state and people actually vote for this guy. I never have, but that’s the nature of elections for you.

       @Ricardus it's projection. It's always projection

       @kirkman I understand. The backstory seems to explain everything. But I am a science guy and red flags need to be investigated.On another matter I see you're a broadcast engineer and a HAM. I have lots of friends back home in NY who do that as well.I'm an electronics guy but I specialize in building recording (studio) equipment.

       @Ricardus Thats why I followed you! Nerds have to stick together. I will say that broadcast audio is a way different beast than the stuff you’ll find in recording studios or live venues.
