31 Kentucky counties investigated ‘election fraud’

Out of the 120 counties in Kentucky, 31 of them reported cases of “election fraud,” according to WSAZ News. But upon further inspection, what is being reported as “election fraud,” isn’t as serious as you might think.

Boyd County’s County Clerk Debbie Jones was quick to clarify that the report about her county was wrong. “There were no reports of election fraud in Boyd County last night,” she said over the phone. She explained she spoke to her representative in the Attorney General’s office who said that he was contacting media to explain that the report was inaccurate and give updated information.

WSAZ said that of the 31 counties, Boyd, Floyd, Johnson, Rowan and Pike reported voter fraud. Jones was told by the AG’s office that there was only one case of voter fraud and that it was in Pikeville, where, as WSAZ reported, there were procedural questions and questions about an election official reported. Courier-Journal reporter Thomas Loftus tweeted Tuesday night that the AG’s office also received a call alleging vote buying in Breathitt County.

Pike County Clerk Rhonda Taylor did not immediately return our calls for additional questions.

**************************

Calls not returned and votes being bought. Sounds like someone with loads of money is behind this. Surprised? I'm not a bit surprised. Desperate they are, desperate!

Besides the above info. I noted news of a Democratic voter in Kentucky that stated that when he/she went to the polls to vote, he/she could not vote as he/she was listed as a Republican, not a Democrat and had been heavily involved in the Sanders campaign from day one. This person was just a little bit ticked off, who wouldn't be?

Nothing stops a crook until the crook is caught and tossed in the clink!

Are they having fun yet?

recounting should have stared a LONG time ago. Maybe, say....with IOWA? And then the rest.

and I cry BULLSHYTE!!!!

Demand a recount. This is not acceptable on any level whatsoever. How many votes were not counted in this instance and other instances as well?

i.e. New York, Nevada, and now we have Kentucky and who else knows where votes were being bought, dumped in a trash can or stolen outright as was the case in Oregon?

Sanders 2016! Feel The Bern!

5.3% of the vote (nearly 25,000 people) voted as 'undecided.'


Is anybody else concerned with the result from Kentucky? 5.3% of the vote (nearly 25,000 people) voted as 'undecided.' That's almost 1 in 20 voters... is this statistically sound?

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/kentucky





Comparison of 2008 vs 2016 Primaries:
2008 Kentucky Primary results = 701,166 total votes, 2.6% (18,059 voters) were uncommitted.

2016 Kentucky Primary results, = 454,609 total votes, 5.3% (24,122 votes) were uncommitted

There are 246,557 less voters (-35%) in this year's primary, yet 6,063 (+33%) more uncommitted voters compared to 2008's totals

What kind of ballots were used, I wonder.

Operating the voting machine

Each county decides which voting technology it will purchase, choosing from among a list of machines certified by the State Board of Elections. Voters may ask their precinct election officials for instruction in the use of the machine on election day. In some counties, the county clerk holds demonstration events in advance of the election to familiarize voters with the machines.

and she's just GOLD alright! Working for/with Goldman Sachs makes her even more GOLDEN and more valuable.

The writing is on the wall.

Clinton v. Trump = loser
Sanders v. Trump = winner

and money. A deadly combination that is there.
