Why Did Votes ‘Disappear’ in the Kentucky Primary? Possible Recount [View all]

Bernie Sanders supporters noticed votes mysteriously disappearing during the Kentucky primary on Tuesday. The Kentucky primary was so close that the delegates will be split evenly between Sanders and Hillary Clinton, with each getting 27 delegates apiece, according to AP. But Sanders is considering asking for a recount, while others are pointing out suspicious things that happened during the primary itself. Did election fraud happen during the primary or was everything merely the result of glitches and technical errors? Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Roque De La Fuente has noticed the same thing happening with his votes in different states.


Here’s what you need to know.

1. Sanders Said He’s Considering a Recount in Kentucky

2. Sanders Somehow Lost 2,000 to 5,000 Votes in Kentucky During the Primary

3. Votes in Pike County Disappeared

4. Roque De La Fuente, a Democratic Presidential Candidate, Shared Screenshots as He Mysteriously Lost Votes in Other States

5. A Similar Problem Was Also Reported in Marion County, Oregon, Where Clinton Gained 11,000 Votes

Bernie needs to request a recount. It won't change the delegate count much but we need to see what's going on once and for all.

Who has standing to ask for a recount in these instances? Blue Meany May 2016 #1
I do wonder if the vote tallies are subject to the open records act or something similar NWCorona May 2016 #3
I'm surprised it isn't automatic with less than 1% difference HereSince1628 May 2016 #4
Pike County=Coal Country!!Always Reliably GOP. Any "stolen" votes would have been for Hillary. tonyt53 May 2016 #2
There was over 8k Democratic votes cast in Pike NWCorona May 2016 #5
The proof would show in a recount, if there is any proof. RichVRichV May 2016 #6
A recount should be performed regardless of who is benefits, to gain a sense of legitimacy. TheBlackAdder May 2016 #13

Could you imagine how bad it would have looked if Hillary lost Kentucky after she went all in? NWCorona May 2016 #9

Doesn't matter. It would probably be after CA before we knew the results of any recount. thesquanderer May 2016 #16
The truth does matter. Other than that you are pretty much right unfortunately NWCorona May 2016 #18
The numbers we see are so corrupt, they are meaningless. We need vote recounts in several states. reformist2 May 2016 #8
Regarding #5, was that the one county Hillary won by one vote reported the other day? (eom) Samantha May 2016 #10
I was wondering the same thing. NWCorona May 2016 #11
I looked it up -- see below Samantha May 2016 #20
