So will Booker make up the 8-10% gap he'll need in Fayette and Jefferson counties?

Or are ya'll about ready to call it for McGrath?

Either way we won't know for sure until the end of the week, or later.

It’s not that many votes to make up. No idea what will happen, but it’s not over. I did hear that Booker’s internal polling had them winning Jefferson County about 80-20%

Jefferson and fayette make up around half of all the votes, no?

we don't know what will be happening in November...and if things get more dire as I believe they will, I think McGrath has a better chance to win over red or purple voters.

Get the ideas out there. But I'm not convinced Booker will lose.

I was thrilled that McGrath briefly polled slightly above McConnell. But then George Floyd was murdered, the political cards were tossed in the air in a lot of races, and in this one a black man who'd previously been mostly ignored became the man to beat. Could the same little zeitgeist continue to lift him through November 3 if he won now? Absolutely no idea.
