Keep your eye on this.

Bernie was pulling ahead, and then a big batch of votes "was added back in for Hillary"

Then Pike zero'd out, and she had a bigger lead (47.3-46.3). With Pike now back in, the numbers are exactly where they were before (46.7-46.3)

This is our most populated county so I guess it's easier here to massage the numbers. I would really like to see postcards sent out after each election saying thank you for your vote. That way we might know if those who don't go to the poll but end up being counted in an election happens. Of course if they were going to cheat they would probably just not mail the postcard to people who actually didn't vote. It's a shame to have to think that way but there have been so many bad things happening in our elections since 2000 that you just can't help it.

They have the numbers back now. I don't know if they are exactly the same but it's roughly the same if not the same. No big shift. Bernie won Pike Co. which is my husband's birth county.

And look for the culprit, or do you change the bulb and turn the light back on?

The Pike County results NEVER CHANGED. They DIDN'T CHANGE. They blinked out for a few seconds and then came back. Where's the conspiracy?

and the Registrar kept giving the local voting integrity folks a hard time about even doing a 1 percent audit, we were not quite amused. Yeah that raises questions.

If you do not care about integrity, which obviously you don't, that is fine. Some of us care... And it is to the point, starting in 2000, that I pretend to vote, in pretend elections that really do not matter. And more and more people are reaching the same conclusion, You do know what happens when governments loose legitimacy, don't you? If you don't, there are these things called libraries, and make sure you take your pet hamster along He might be able to explain that to you.

I've been staring at the Kentucky SBOE website and NYTimes results site all night. The several thousand votes came from several hundred precincts in Jefferson County reporting, and the Pike results were the exact same before and after the glitch.

come the arpeggios of coincidence theorists telling us that it's completely normal that clinton wins contest after contest where the numbers are off, the counting is done wrong, the exit polls show a 10% variance, her childhood BFF is the secretary of state. and all that stuff is normal and should surprise no one, so please shut up about it.

honest to god we can put people on the moon but we can't get a bunch of papers into a box and count them. election after election.

I did get to read your original, pre-edited post that you quickly changed. Still laughing my ass off. Saying 'Fuck you' as you originally posted was classic. But I give you credit for realizing it was over the top and editing it. I would not have alerted on you. Never have and never will. The irony is that I like Bernie and would be happy to have him as my President.

I do have a question. Since I have been cordial with you after you said 'Fuck You' to me. Did you get trophies for third place when you were growing up?

Did nearly 16% of the voters in Pike County leave the Presidential space blank? Or vote for Mickey Mouse? That's a pretty high percentage, compared to surrounding counties.
