All 3 states now have certified results.

With the KY results, the margin narrowed slightly to D+5.136 there.

Which means Dems won all 3 states combined by 320 votes instead of 373.

This is absolutely astounding, given how I was thinking at one point that Republicans were going to sweep all three races. Nevertheless, these three states are all safe as can be for Trump next year.

You don't see the contradiction in your position?

What do you mean? This year's results doesn't change the fact that Trump will easily win these states next year. Beshear was carried in by Bevin's extreme unpopularity, Edwards benefited from being an incumbent and from being a moderate Democrat (the only type of Democrat that Louisiana will vote for), and Hood was of the same cast as Edwards, in addition to having name recognition from being Mississippi's Attorney General. Kansas isn't going to go Democratic because of Laura Kelly, and West Virginia and Montana aren't going Democratic because of Joe Manchin and Jon Tester, either.
