Trey Grayson: Turnout for last general election "lowest in modern history."

According to Trey Grayson, "Statewide turnout was 37.8% for the general election, marking the lowest turnout in modern history for a Kentucky gubernatorial election cycle."

Continuing, Trey said that "Turnout in the 2003 general election, the most recent comparable election, was 40.2%. Turnout for the 2004 and 2006 general elections were 64.7% and 49.5%, respectively."

And the counties with the highest and lowest turnouts? Franklin County had the highest turnout percentage with 59.7% of registered voters turning out to vote. Martin County had the lowest turnout percentage with 19.3%. (I guess you know who Franklin County wanted to run out of town!)

Statewide, Democrats beat out Republicans -- 40.8%, 36.2% -- and voters listed as “other” turned out at 21.6%.

So much for some people who attributed Fletcher's loss to a HUGE Democratic turnout, and a small Republican turn out!! The voting statistics prove them WRONG.

That should prove a warning to all FALSE Conservatives.
