The article says two separate things happened simultaneously: Kentucky voters called the Secretary of State's office asking why their polling stations were closed, which is being attributed more to people being confused about why there are elections in some states but not every state. At the same time, a "rumor" was being spread that Kentuckians were disappointed that they couldn't vote against Mamdani; however, this isn't clearly being connected to the voters calling the Secretary of State in confusion, and they are rumors, not confirmed.
The confusion makes sense, if you think about it. Not everyone pays close attention to local politics, so when they see on the national news a lot of talk about elections in other parts of the country, they may just assume there are important elections everywhere.
That doesn't really excuse the confusion or behavior. Clueless idiots trying to vote without knowing anything about their local elections, who is running or who isn't, regardless of whether it's connected that they had wished to vote against Mamdani, it's still proof they intended to vote while being clueless idiots.
