Are they already crying foul about Kentucky?

Post in Video & Multimedia claiming the Kentucky Elections Chief is...

well you can read and judge for yourself: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017372203

I was just wondering if Kentucky was not going to do nearly as well as BSers had hoped so they are getting out there with a preemptive fraud claim.

2. When they don't win, it's a conspiracy.

When you say no, they keep screaming yes. Just like my two year old did in the grocery store at the check-out. It's "Hammer Time" folks, the sooner the better.

3. I suspect KY will have some WV like vibes

There are larger cities and a more diverse population, so the Trump crossover will not be as dramatic, but when you have a state with 52/40 D registration that goes 38/60 in the GE, you know there are a lot of Kim Davis types there who will do their best to perpetuate Dem acrimony. I could be wrong, but I'd not be surprised with a Sanders win in the state.

6. I thought he was expected to win Kentucky

I was just wondering if it will be far less of a victory than expected. We know it will not be enough of a victory to make a difference.

14. Bernie was complaining OR is closed already. Sounds like he knows it will be close, if not a loss.

Seriously. About the only state where they didn't loudly scream about some conspiracy was Pennsylvania. Why I'm not sure...probably because we were buried in the middle of the Acela primaries and it was an awful night for Sanders.

I'm betting their logical left brains are prickling at them and pointing out that Kentucky (and Oregon) aren't likely to be the stunning wins their more creative sides want and dream about.

They're likely also aware that these states (OR especially) are very near the end of the road and that pinning all one's hopes on California is...well, unwise at best.

11. One poster claims she looks stupid, and another says...

...they'd better watch her when the voting machines are programmed.

Which is it: stupid or coding genius? You can't have both.
