8403

The following election results are final as of 10:06 p.m. This represents a voter turnout of 83% in early voting and all precinct ballots. Some absentee ballots that were mailed and thus received late have yet to be counted. They are unlikely to make a material change in the final voting percentages.

This report represents 75,464 of the 91,463 registered voters (83%) in Fayette County as of 10 p.m. tonight — both early vote totals and probably most of the absentee ballots. Election Day votes in all 36 precincts have been reported.

In the final unofficial tally, Trump received 38,166 Fayette votes to 35,801 votes for Harris.

  1. Why are you all posting in code? Why not just say you don’t like people with dark skin pigment and hope they won’t spoil your county? Geesh! Maybe we are returning to the 1950s when America was great and it was fashionable to loudly and publicly denigrate minorities.

    • Fic, it mostly has nothing to do with the color of the skin, but mostly with the corruption, crime, and out of touch governance. For example, California.
      On the other hand, for those of us still around the fifties was a much more simple time.
      Have a great day!

    • Fiction – “Wisdom and decency pursue you, but you are faster.” Tzu Sun, Permian Philosopher.

      Perhaps you should look inward and ask why you see racism by your neighbors in everything. Is it the voices again, Fiction?

      If we remember past times fondly, it likely has to do with things we DIDN’T have back then: men in girls’ sports, bathrooms and and locker rooms; micro-aggressions; tampons in boys’ bathrooms; 10,000,000 – 15,000,000 illegals; kneeling for our national anthem; Sanctuary Cities; soft on crime DA’s; Bidenflation; green mandates; fentanyl; TikTok; defunding the police; “equity” over equality and political correctness.

      We also didn’t have 52 pronouns; cross-dressing men twerking in front of kids at a library story-hour; identity politics; a military more concerned with DEI than preparedness; lawfare; cancel culture; government-sponsored censorship; $36,000,000,000,000 in national debt; trans’ing kids with drugs and surgery . . .

      Just some of the ways we could have been better off “back then”.

      • How prescient of Vic’s family to forecast the 2024 political climate over a half-century ahead and flee to the suburbs which just coincidentally happened to be white. Thanks for clearing that up.

    • A racist is one that sees things in terms of the color of ones skin, and not in the heart of the person. Crime is the lack of respect and contempt for those around them.
      to go no further than the crime stats to understand why people want to escape the citadels of disrespect.

  2. Although – there’s a few I wish the Democrats had won. Specifically a certain board of commissioners seat in the southern end of the county who’s a person I’ve had dealings with and always felt like I was getting sold a bill of goods. I liked his opponent much better…..that Democrat opponent seemed to have more spine, more conviction, and more genuine sincerity than the current placeholder that got re-elected.
