Chris Hayes just said the Sanders campaign was going to take a close look at the numbers

[silvershadow]

and decide by Wednesday on whether on not to challenge the numbers in Kentucky.

1. as they should.

Why not just demand a recount, though? I thought when elections were this close, a candidate can get votes recounted. May differ state to state I guess.

5. Well, there are probably a lot of considerations

Since they basically split the delegates, is the upside of a challenge worth any potential cost/downside.

6. Taking it away from her bragging rights would be good. nt

[TDale313]

7. Yes, one of the biggest upsides for sure.

Plus fighting to see that everyone's vote counts. Also pointing out any dirty tricks.

2. .

3. Finally, shenanigans everywhere. Makes her an illegitimate nominee.

9. That's for sure. nt

4. K&R Good.

8. Thank Goodness!!

PLEASE challenge KY Bernie because Alison likely "fixed" the numbers for Her. That result was WAY TOO CLOSE with no exit polls. SUSPECT!

10. K&R. Everyone should read this.

13. R-E-C-O-U-N-T KENTUCKY! It's a MUST! Once you have votes, you DO NOT lose them.

Again, on live TV, we witnessed election fraud - Bernie LOSING VOTES. Kentucky was stolen just like Massachusetts, Illinois, AZ, MO., ETC...

And it just so happens, Clinton's good buddy, Allison Lundgren Grimes was in charge of vote counting/STEALING in Kentucky.

Someone belongs in PRISON, David Brock, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.

Bernie MUST RECOUNT KENTUCKY.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

19. This seems to be the perfect spot,

a small rural state with only a few urban areas.

[mopinko]

14. i hope he does.

just for the cause of election security in this country, which so many of us know is bullshit. so many screwy results, so few recounts.

eta, so many candidate are afraid to be labeled "sore losers". and it probably is a death knell to party politicians. all part of playing the game.
bernie is the perfect guy to pull back the curtains.

15. K&R

16. They shoud've done it in Illinois and Missouri too nt

17. Some of the factors involved

According to a website that describes recount laws in all the states, a candidate or voter who requests a recount in Kentucky must pay the entire cost of the recount. Bernie's team will have to decide whether this is a worthwhile use of campaign funds. It could be quite expensive. Another factor is, according to this website, that a third of ballots in Kentucky are cast on electronic voting machines that cannot be recounted. What is the probability that any malfeasance happened with those votes and can never be proved? Higher than with paper ballots, I would think.

I too feel the temptation to prove whether election fraud occurred here. Maybe Bernie has some information from people on the ground in Kentucky that would indicate a recount is worth doing. We'll have to wait and see.
