I saw it at 99% with 2,000 now it's 98% at 4,000 what the hell is going on

[TexasTowelie]

1. The results for Pike County were removed from the total.

It is in Eastern Kentucky and Sanders won it. It may have been removed from the totals to correct a data entry error, but it does seem somewhat fishy.

[brooklynite]

6. Conspiracy! Cheating! Scandal!

[bkkyosemite]

14. Yes of course just like it has been throughout the states. At least this time you are

right on!

[brooklynite]

17. Can I ask what the conspiracy du jour is?

The coin flip hasn't been used in awhile...

[MrMickeysMom]

32. You can, but we'd just do this...

Why? Because when there is a question, you look to be the first to respond with snark and insult. It's so very much what we expect.

Hey... everyone's good at s o m e t h i n g

[brooklynite]

36. Definitely snark...never insult.

[imaginary girl]

2. Pike County pulled its votes

They did have 100% reported and just went down to 0%.

[Urchin]

21. Pike county is back

Now 99.7%, and Hillary is ahead by four-tenths of a percent.

[Else You Are Mad]

3. I just saw that and had the same question. nt

[Urchin]

4. On the Guardian website

I saw the same thing. It was 99%+, and then suddenly it was down to 98%: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2016/may/17/primary-results-kentucky-oregon-election-2016

[big_dog]

38. same thing happened in Jackson County MO

but most of the country wasnt up to see it

[mooseprime]

5. gee what a surprise

sanders essentially in the lead most of the night, suddenly at the last minute thousands of votes for clinton come out of nowhere.

[MadBadger]

9. Apparently Louisville is considered "nowhere."

[bkkyosemite]

16. And Louisville was sooooooooo slow staying at 70%...just like another country

earlier staying at 8% forever...they are screwing with votes...don't care what you think.

[Godhumor]

29. AP slow reported the one at 8%. Decision Desk had it at 98% very early in the evening

Just a difference in reporting.

[mooseprime]

45. electrons move soooooo much slower

in populated areas.

[mooseprime]

19. i grew up there. that's exactly where it is.

frozen at 80% for over an hour then thousands come in for clinton at the last instant. stinks.

[Arugula Latte]

28. Yeah, not suspicious at all. Especially when the Secretary of State is like

Katherine Harris for the Clintons.

[MadBadger]

30. Happens all the time with bigger cities and elections

[mooseprime]

33. and only 31 counties have reported election errors so far

plus the really choice one with pike county at the very last minute.

[JSup]

40. Most because...

...it seems they always count the minority districts last.

[dchill]

26. 100% is 100%...

Or it used to be.

[jwirr]

12. No surprise that.

[NuclearDem]

34. Jefferson County is the largest in the state.

It takes a while for results to get in.

[mooseprime]

39. of course it does.

computer tabulation of data from many sources always freezes for an hour and then suddenly completes with a pattern unlike anything seen the whole evening. and the last minute shuffle with pike county was a normal occurrence also.

[NuclearDem]

41. Maybe if you paid attention to elections, you would know this isn't out of the ordinary.

Shit happens, and 99% of the time, it's not nefarious.

[mooseprime]

42. why what an endearingly santimonious response

buh-bye, party uniter

[JI7]

44. This happens a lot because high population areas report later

This is why republicans always lead in early results in california . But end up losing big.

[me b zola]

7. I had just noticed that too

[SamKnause]

8. They pulled all the votes from Pike County.

I do not know why.

I was watching when it went from 99% down to 98%.

[Codeine]

22. Who the hell is that guy

and who the hell keeps voting for him?

[bkkyosemite]

11. They just said Pike County turned grey with Bernie at a huge margin it went blank

so Hillary jumped 4,000 then it came back and it went back down to 1700. He said it happened at the Secretary of States office a blip. Unbelievable.

[Doctor Jack]

13. Massive and obvious fraud.

There is no other explanation. Sanders was supposed to win by 500,000,000 votes. Clear fraud! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD! ALL CAPS! AHHHHHHH!!!!

[msongs]

23. all the humans who have every lived & died voted for him

[Doctor Jack]

43. 14th century Ottoman peasants love Sanders

[JimDandy]

37. Anomalies like this and possible explanations are actually interesting to an election protection

activist like me.

It always amazes me that the immediate reaction of normally intelligent people is to discount unusual occurrences in elections.

[firebrand80]

15. .

[SamKnause]

18. They just added back the votes to Pike County.

It is back up to 99%.

46.7 Hillary

46.3 Bernie

[napi21]

24. I think the % is the percentage of precincts reporting.

Not the % of votes. From what I heard on MSNBC, Louisville, the largest county in Ky, had Hillary ahead al night, and it was the last precincts in Louisville that put her in the win column. They said there were a few precincts to be reported yet, but they're very small and won't contain enough votes to put Bernie back to win.

[MrMickeysMom]

25. I saw this, too and when, "what?"

[bkkyosemite]

35. 31 counties in KY reporting election fraud and the election office for Pike is one of them.

will get link hold on: http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511986566 link at this OP

[Dem2]

46. As I've said repeatedly, this happens all the time

I took a screen shot when they rolled back the county mentioned above, when they put the votes back in, Hillary's lead was actually smaller - like 1813 vs. like 1880. So, the error that was corrected was in Bernie's favor.

[Doctor Jack]

47. Don't bring logic and math into this!

This is a revolution....or something!
