As a Kentuckian who has spent quite some time in Louisville as well as the rural areas in Northern Kentucky, I don't understand Bandit's claims that Kentucky would be an Atlas Red state if it wasn't for "voter fraud" or whatever. Outside of Louisville liberals are a small minority, albeit a very vocal one. And even in Louisville you'll find a sizable number of conservatives. Most people outside of Jefferson County (Louisville) are conservatives or moderates. In Oldham County, which borders Jefferson County, two thirds of voters voted for Romney. Obama didn't even win 55% of the vote in Jefferson County, which was his best county in the state (the other 3 counties he won he won with less than 50% of the vote). In a Republican landslide, I would not be surprised to see every county in the state go Atlas Blue.
Oldham County doesn't have nearly as many people as Jefferson County.
But with about 1/6 of the population, if Jefferson goes 55-45 for the Dem in the two-party vote, the rest of the state only has to break 51-49 for the Pub to win the state.
