    More Republican early voters than Democrats in Kentucky

    Adams stated in a post that of the more than 656,000 Kentuckians who voted early, 52.6% were registered Republicans, compared to 40.3% registered Democrats and 7.1% registered Independents.

    However, these numbers do not necessarily mean that Kamala Harris or Donald Trump received the corresponding number of votes in the presidential race.
