With 400k votes, Is a 50/50 split impossible

How are the 400,000 votes evenly split? At times there was a 29 vote difference. Earlier 100,000 votes each were separated by a 29 or 100 votes. Can anyone expect 190000 votes each, to be separated by 29 that's what I saw earlier.

Hillary had 129029 votes and Bernie had 129000 votes.

How is that possible.

...Different precincts with different margins coming in at different times. Humans look for patterns.

Hundreds of thousands of votes were cast, to be separated by a few votes fro most of the day seems very odd.

You're just bummed because your "Sanders net 20 delegates in Kentucky" thread was such a fucking utter disaster.

And of course they can be that close -- it's an exciting horserace between two good candidates. Have you ever participated in an election before?
