A video allegedly showing a machine not allowing a voter to cast their ballot for Trump went viral on social media.

Northern Kentucky counties have gone red in U.S. presidential races for decades, highlighted most recently by enthusiastic support for former President Donald Trump in 2016 and in 2020. In 2024, the counties are expected to stay Republican-dominated for the presidential race.
