A recanvass of the Kentucky Democratic primary results confirmed that Hillary Clinton is the winner of the contest, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced on Thursday.

"The unofficial winner of Kentucky's Democratic presidential primary remains Hillary Clinton," Grimes said at a press conference on Thursday. "The recanvass vote totals which were submitted to my office today will become the official vote totals. The Kentucky Board of Elections will certify on May 31st.".........................................

The recanvass results found that Clinton still was ahead of Sanders, this time by 1911 votes, Grimes said.

"The 13-vote difference is a result of two counties' absentee vote totals being reported, as well as provisional ballots in two counties being reported," Grimes said.

The recanvass findings by Grimes followed Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign's call for a review of the May 17 election results.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A recanvass of the votes in Kentucky's Democratic presidential primary started at 9 a.m. Thursday. At 1:00 p.m., Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes said the recanvass resulted in no change in the election outcome.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign requested the recanvass after losing to Hillary Clinton by less than half of 1 percent of the vote.

..................

A recanvass is not a recount, but a review of the voting totals. The purpose of a recanvass is to verify the accuracy of the vote totals reported from the voting machines.

Grimes' office said each of Kentucky's 120 county boards of elections rechecked and recanvassed each voting machines, per Kentucky law. The results were certified to the Secretary of State’s office.......................
