The Pike County Clerk’s office told local Kentucky station WKYT there were issues with one of their card readers which caused a delay in the numbers and as a result, the AP then erased Sanders’ votes, pushing Hillary to the lead by over 4,000 votes.
According to Real Clear Politics Clinton eventually received 212,550 votes in Kentucky to Bernie Sanders’ 210,626 votes for a difference of only 1,924 votes. The 4,000 vote discrepancy gave Clinton the Primary.
There were more than 76 reports of election fraud in 31 different counties called into Kentucky’s Attorney General hotline during the closely contested Democrat primary, according to Attorney General Andy Beshear. The Sanders campaign was expectedly outraged by the reports which were similar to what has occurred in other states – and many are pointing the finger at the Clinton campaign.
The subject of the calls coming in to the hotline included procedural and legal questions, voter assistance, voting machines, voter identification, residency, election officials, electioneering, poll disruption and vote buying.
Locally, the Attorney General’s office didn’t report any calls from Kenton County. But, Boone and Campbell Counties each had one call for voter identification and a procedural question, respectively.
In Jefferson County, there were 25 calls made to the hotline.
The Office of the Attorney General, by law, cannot provide details regarding specific complaints or possible pending investigations, Beshear said.
Here’s a breakdown of all the calls that came in on Tuesday:
