The same thing has happened in other primaries.

At worst, Hillary could miss her delegate target by one, which still keeps her on-track.

Per the NYTimes results, four percent of the vote is still not reflected in the count. http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/west-virginia

It seems that quite a few people voted for at least one other third candidate - possibly the same felon they voted for in 2012. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/05/10/flashback-the-time-a-felon-took-41-percent-against-president-obama-in-west-virginia/
