So it’s really not a surprise.

It doesn’t make sense mathematically that Republican races are almost always 50/50. It’s a clear indication of election tampering.

Franken defeated Coleman by a few hundred votes out of almost 3 million.

But I do think it's an important reminder of why turnout matters and every vote counts.

It's heavily Republican. How big a margin would you expect?

Kentucky is as red as states come. White, super religious and majority rural.

The margin does not surprise me a bit.

Florida 2000--the presidency was decided by a margin of 537 votes. Minnesota Senate 2008, recent Senate seats in Arizona, New Hampshire, this happens a lot, actually.

That is their forte.

Why are so many voting machine manufacturers owned by repugnants?

Which shows that is how we win.

I'm reminded of the time Al Franken won a Senate seat in Minnesota. He didn't get seated for months while a hand recount was done after the election. In the end, he won by something like 700 votes out of over 3 million.

Close races are not rare at all. Sometimes they're even closer. What is rare is a race with a 6000 vote difference changing after a recount.
