High turnout in Kentucky's urban areas is buoying Alison Lundergan Grimes' hopes for a stunning upset over U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

At midday, Lynn Zellen, a spokeswoman for the Secretary of State's office, said turnout has been steady statewide but that it has been high in Louisville and in the Northern Kentucky community of Fort Thomas.

Big turnout in Louisville would appear to help Grimes, said Democratic political consultant Danny Briscoe. "She's got to come out of here with a huge margin," he said. "It's the biggest Democratic area left in Kentucky."

At about 2:30 p.m., Grimes tweeted "We're seeing incredible turnout today."
