Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign requested a recanvass in Kentucky’s presidential primary Tuesday, where he trails Hillary Clinton by less than one-half of 1 percent of the vote.

The Sanders campaign said it has asked the Kentucky secretary of state to have election officials review electronic voting machines and absentee ballots from last week’s primary in each of the state’s 120 counties.

Clinton holds 1,924-vote lead over Sanders out of 454,573 votes cast. The Associated Press had not called the race, despite Clinton’s slight lead, in the event that Sanders might ask to recanvass the vote.

A recanvass is not a recount but a review of the voting totals. It is unlikely to affect the final outcome but could affect the awarding of a single delegate still up for grabs.

Clinton please give him the one delegate he can win please.

With a margin that small they need to be sure the correct winner was given for the integrity of the system. It's not about quibbling over one delegate.

Seems like a giant waste of time and money, but whatever. It won't matter for the final outcome, either way.

I agree, but that wasn't the point of my comment. I just want Clinton to just automatically concede these minor conflicts to get them over with.

In any case it's clear why he's doing this. He's playing Pokemon in order to maximize his leverage at the convention.
