http://bigstory.ap.org/042a334061664e0ca202ccfe0a2ffab6I'm presenting this utterly without comment as I'm beyond words at the moment.
Edited: I said Recount, and meant Review. A recount isn't a review, and the article explains this.

Delegate math: How Clinton wraps up nomination by June 7
After a strong April finish that put her 91 percent of the way to the nomination, Clinton was slowed by a lighter primary schedule and wins by Sanders in Indiana, West Virginia and Oregon. She still picked up more than 45 percent of the delegates at stake in May. That's because Democrats award delegates in proportion to the vote, so the loser receives some.
Clinton is 78 delegates short.
In the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, Clinton is likely to grab around 40 delegates. That will leave her shy by more than 30, heading into June 7.
With 126 pledged delegates at stake, New Jersey offers Clinton more than what she needs to clinch - even if she were to lose the state.
Also voting June 7, in order of poll close times: North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico, Montana and California. A total of 694 delegates are up for grabs.

'True believers' praising his tenacity!
He is going to fight - for every last dollar!
lol don't you mean "delegate"?

(67,782 posts)...it will change one or two delegates.
He just wants to keep his finger in the pie and stir shit up. Maybe it will enable Tad and Jeff (and Jane) to keep their paying jobs a little be longer - wring a few more measly bucks out of their supporters.

(10,190 posts)He wants to establish a history of fraud or other misdeed as the cause of his losses. He thinks it will help him delegitimize Hillary's victory and discourage voter turnout.

(740 posts)...that explains the 'zomg votes zeroed out in Pike!' is shouted loud and clear; using television adjustments to their typoed numbers (or whatever) isn't fraud.
When I was a kid and playing a game I didn't know the rules to I always thought people were cheating; some of these people remind me of me playing my first Blackjack game: "What? I had 23! I beat you!".

(9,494 posts)litigating every state that he lost, desperately mining for delegates that will never add up to enough.
I am also guessing that Joe and Mika will be the only ones in the media who bother talking about it.

Whatever it is, someone will have to pay for it, and it won't change anything

(53,109 posts)1) The results remain nearly the same and the issue was related to the AP that was collecting and reporting the data.
2) It involves two different counties. One of which would not impact the district delegate count. The other could possibly change one delegate at both the district and state level but not the PLEO delegates.
I look for it to be 1). And Sanders with egg on his face. In public.
jmowreader
(51,118 posts)Apparently in his mind, the more states he wins, the more control he has over the convention and over Hillary's platform once the election officially shifts into general election mode.
That he actually got stomped down hard during primary season is immaterial at this point. His intent is to force Hillary to run on a socialist platform.
His biggest problem, naturlich, is there are enough undeclared superdelegates floating around for Hillary to clinch the nomination this instant if they wanted to declare for her.
