Sanders campaign requests Kentucky vote recanvass

[Stevepol]

26. Wonderful!!!! Wonderful!!!! I can't believe it!!

This has got to be the first time that a politician has ever actually asked that the voting machines be checked and the count verified. There have been recounts but not instigated by a candidate. Kerry refused to do it in 04 despite clear evidence of machine malfeasance. I think it was Dodd who advised him not to worry about the voting machines, saying something like, "We've checked into this and there's nothing to it."

We'll see how this is handled. If it's anything like the way the request of Beth Clarkson here in Wichita KS to be allowed to check the voting scroll from the touch screens in Sedgwick County the powers that be will pretend to be concerned but in the end do nothing and if they are sued in court they will counter-sue. They will claim they can't do it now for some obscure reason. They will claim there's a law that doesn't allow such a recount after a certain date, etc., etc., etc.

I hope this means that the Bernie campaign is giving a look at some of the ridiculous results in the primary. While he's at it, he should ask for a recount of the MA results where I feel sure Bernie won and by a considerable margin and where the paper ballots are still there waiting to be recounted BY USING HUMAN EYES AND HANDS.
