It's always been pretty solidly Republican, that result aside. A state with countryside and small cities sandwiched between states with larger cities...

It’s Mike Pences home state so that does make a difference, plus demographics have changed a hell of a lot in 12 years

Just looked at the percentages for Indiana then and it was very close between Obama and McCain with only 1.03% separating them. Though it looked like the Republican party won more of the counties.

blue kentucky?!

 

unlikely because that's probably just its cities reporting in early but very nice to see Biden doing well there regardless.

IMAGINE if the first full results we got was actually a solid red state going blue :mary: one can dream :wub:

Although there's no chance Kentucky at large will go blue some counties that Clinton won there by something like 53% are now showing Biden up at 80%. While it doesn't matter in deep red states like Kentucky, if this is replicated in some swing states then Trump is in deep trouble. Worth remembering that he BARELY won the election in 2016 to begin with.

Kentucky is showing two more blue counties than the 2016 results at the moment on the associated press thing that comes up when you type US election into Google, is it significant or are those individual counties on the map not fully declared yet?

 

All this talk of Kentucky is making me crave Kentucky Fried Chicken slightly anyway!

The overall margin in Kentucky could be interesting though, Obama lost by 16 in 2008 and 20 in 2012, but Hilary lost by 30 last time.
I've got this page bookmarked to show current results:

Trump's back ahead in Kentucky now but only narrowly, and yes it is indeed just some liberal cities which are the blue counties there.

 

But importantly it seems to be more than the two here

CNN have projected Donald Trump to win Indiana but they say Kentucky is too early too call. They've got Trump as having 11 electorial votes on their screen.

If Biden does over 40% in Kentucky, that would be better than Hilary and Obama. The senate race there seems interesting too. Although granted there's alot more counties which'll likely push dem's vote share down a lot. Either way Kentucky is a solid red state.

 

Voting has started showing up for Florida, that'll be the most important early state!

Biden now leading in Florida. Apparantley all the counties Donald swept in 2016 he's down in so far. Come on Biden!
Trump up 4.6 in Florida with just over a quarter of votes in
I am not watching a TV news station but following the Associated Press window when you type in US election to Google and comparing the the counties with 2016 results.
