(112,660 posts)It is in Eastern Kentucky and Sanders won it. It may have been removed from the totals to correct a data entry error, but it does seem somewhat fishy.

(20,453 posts)Why? Because when there is a question, you look to be the first to respond with snark and insult. It's so very much what we expect.

mooseprime
(474 posts)computer tabulation of data from many sources always freezes for an hour and then suddenly completes with a pattern unlike anything seen the whole evening. and the last minute shuffle with pike county was a normal occurrence also.
NuclearDem
(16,184 posts)Shit happens, and 99% of the time, it's not nefarious.

(5,792 posts)so Hillary jumped 4,000 then it came back and it went back down to 1700. He said it happened at the Secretary of States office a blip. Unbelievable.

(3,072 posts)There is no other explanation. Sanders was supposed to win by 500,000,000 votes. Clear fraud! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD! ALL CAPS! AHHHHHHH!!!!

It always amazes me that the immediate reaction of normally intelligent people is to discount unusual occurrences in elections.

(13,114 posts)It is back up to 99%.
46.7 Hillary
46.3 Bernie
napi21
(45,806 posts)Not the % of votes. From what I heard on MSNBC, Louisville, the largest county in Ky, had Hillary ahead al night, and it was the last precincts in Louisville that put her in the win column. They said there were a few precincts to be reported yet, but they're very small and won't contain enough votes to put Bernie back to win.

Dem2
(8,168 posts)I took a screen shot when they rolled back the county mentioned above, when they put the votes back in, Hillary's lead was actually smaller - like 1813 vs. like 1880. So, the error that was corrected was in Bernie's favor.
