Mail in voting has been going on for some time, so if she somehow survives, it’s because he surged just a bit too late. But his campaign is confident there are enough votes outstanding to eclipse her. Much of it, sadly, will come down to the mechanics of voting on Election Day. There is only one polling location in all of Louisville. If there’s chaos, it helps McGrath.
