I don’t know their process. It would seem like that in this day and age they could do a lot better. Alas, they aren’t.

It doesn’t lead to a confidence in those votes IMO.

last 4 polling stations that reported

126 votes for Bernie 33%
231 votes for Hillary 61%
18 votes for the other guys

2 remaining stations to report

curious that Hillary suddenly gets 2/3s of votes after everyone is asleep

she still is only ahead by less than 1%

waiting for the ink to dry...

“The Kentucky Secretary of State — a very close friend of the Clintoons — is manufacturing the votes to ensure the Hildabeast beats Bernie in KY.
Umm... I meant “carefully counting” the votes....”

And that is the problem Trump is going to have in states like Kentucky.

Don’t you like all the love in the dems. The media is not able to hide the anger.

We live in a democratic republic, do we not? Why can’t We the People demand integrity at the ballot box? Voter ID, sure, but we should also have severe punishment for voter fraud. 25 years in prison. And no pardons for it. Why should a crook be let out of prison by the very same person who benefited from his voter fraud?

[Salvation]

One last bump.

3 hours ago Sec of State annouced there were just under 800 votes left to count ...

it took 4-5 hours from time polls closed to count 375 votes from 6 polling stations and Hillary went from 1,800 votes ahead to 1,900 ahead

now 2 stations remain unreported

Did Jefferson County really come as a surprise?

Its a Hillary stronghold.

[bray]

Bern it down is whining there aren’t enough commies in the Party.

[fhayek]

Not enough commies in the Democrat Party? You gotta love the guy, considering that he is criticizing a party that he does not even belong to.

[vooch]

375 votes in 6 stations is about 60 votes apiece; does anything want to argue it take 4 hours to count 60 pieces of paper ?

[Ken H]

You make an awful lot of posts about how well Hillary will do.

[fhayek]

I count for a living. No lie. I take inventory of retail outlets. We count clothing stores, hardware stores, grocery stores...you name it. Now every type of store is different, but clothing stores are the most analogous here. When I say count, what I really mean is that we scan merchandise. One at a time. Size, color, style are all captured individually. And the speed at which we scan these items is recorded. In a typical clothing store, the average counter can count 500 pieces an hour. Some can count 1000. 300 is slow. 300 is five per minute. 300 would get you fired. What you describe is not slow. It is criminal.

Do you work for RGIS by any chance?

[ResisTyr]

Is that Cruz’ daughter welcoming him home? (sorry, couldn’t resist)

[bray]

Too funny. Anyone watching CNN with Plant and the black guy going at it. They really hate each other fighting over Bernie and Hillary.

Reporting after the 05/17 election results, and new delegate assignments.

Please use the CNN link at the bottom to see one of the highest delegate counts for Trump.
