7. Do they really think that a Dem might win in KY?

It occurred to me that in order to get enough votes for Trump's SAVE act, they might try to claim that McConnell told his staff to place his vote for him.

But now that it is known that he has been unconscious for 3 weeks ever since going to the hospital, it isn't possible for them to pull thar off. If staff claimed that he was conscious long enough to tell them his vote, Senate Dems would demand proof.

Or is it not possible to cast a vote from the hospital? Do Senators have to be present to vote?
