I can't wait to get the rest of this Kentucky data lined out for the last 20 years of elections.
The trends are REALLY fucked up for the last 4 years -- but out of the last 6 Presidential Election cycles - this one is the weirdest.
If I didn't need sleep -

Let's just say that I find it VERY hard to believe that rural Democrat turnout would drop by 30%+ in Kentucky for the first time in what appears to be decades during a General Election - let alone a Presidential.
Dems turned out higher to evict Bevin than they did Trump.

OI - dug a little deeper into Maine's numbers this year and they REALLY look weird now.
Mitchie-boy - I'm getting close enough to this wall I'm gonna find the cracks.

This is a "summary total" of votes cast in Maine's 2020 data, via @bangordailynews website.
Dems outperformed R's "in summary" statewide - except in one race.
-- so I'm just going to leave this here.

That summary data includes statewide races for the Maine House and Senate -- and even there - Democrats "in summary" threw down more votes than Republicans.
#Kentucky, I haven't forgot about you - but we're going back a few years on your numbers -- because the game is different there...
Tacking on this thread, that addresses more "anomalies" throughout multiple states.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT NOTE:
Kentucky voter registrations (PARTY AFFILIATION) is set IF YOU VOTE IN THE PRIMARY ONLY - or if you EXPLICITLY CHANGE IT at your County Clerk's Office.
If a voter DOES NOT vote in a Kentucky Primary, their "party affiliation" MAY NOT BE ACCURATE.

There are some interesting stats in those numbers - such as weird alignments between primary vote turnout and general election turnout - as well as party shifts over the years in districts.
This is just raw data. I hate making charts -- maybe someone else wants to tinker...

At some point I will go back an additional 10 years into the 80's (to cover the Reagan numbers and years before Mitch McConnell was in office.
