1. Who was "other"?

or was "other" the place they put the Sanders votes?

[Scootaloo]

2. I was wondering that myself. Did Jim Webb get his lucky break?

6. 24,000 + for "other"????? That smells too.

(and who's Rocky de la Fuente? Nevermind I'll Google him.)

[nc4bo]

9. Whoa just saw that "Other" - who or what in the Samhain is that? nt

[LiberalElite]

10. I still think

it's where you put the votes you don't want counted.

11. "Question EVERYTHING!!!" nt

22. perhaps they add a vote to candidate A when they see some percentage of votes for B so that the two

cancel out and its voided.

14. Perhaps that includes nonvotes? n/t

8. Any exit polling? eom

[winter is coming]

15. Nope. n/t

[Jennylynn]

24. Course not. n/t

12. Trump supporters, CNN said.

People whose families have been KY Democrats for generations, but who vote Republican for top ticket. So they did not mark a choice, and that makes it "other"

[Equinox Moon]

17. That is ridiculous and makes NO sense

[Lordquinton]

19. Southern democrats

They won't vote for the party of Lincoln. Yes, parts of the South are still fighting the civil war.

26. Good Grief Charlie Brown

[Lordquinton]

28. All the talk of slave states, and racism in the south is real

Yes, there are progressive areas, but it's all still very conservative, and the country still has an open wound in regards to that time in history.

Which is why it's a travesty that the Democratic arty starts it's voting there, and leaves the big blue west coast for last, if we even get a voice. One reason I love Bernie, he's giving us a voice.

In fact he's coming to the town right next door, and I so wish I could go, if it weren't literally the most important day of class I'd pack my car and drive up there with all my classmates (That will fit, at least)

[Equinox Moon]

13. I think that is the largest 'other' I have seen out of any race

[winter is coming]

16. Almost 16% of the total from Pike county. n/t

[Jennylynn]

20. Isn't Pike County the County that paused at 80% for an hour or so? Eom

[winter is coming]

23. No. I think you're thinking of Jefferson, on the other side of the state. n/t

[Jennylynn]

25. Ok

[Baobab]

18. Good question

Maybe they were mis-votes where somebody's ballot contains votes for two candidates at the same time and they have to void it.

Thats a hell of a large number of them, though.

21. politico.com

is showing "uncommited" as 5.3% with 1 delegate, Martin O'Malley with 1.3% and R. De La Fuente with 0.4%.

[A Little Weird]

27. Uncommitted

I think it means that 24,122 people turned in a ballot but didn't vote in that race. So I guess it means they didn't like any of the choices presented.
