Hillary Declared “Apparent Winner” Of Kentucky Primary

Minutes ago the Kentucky Secretary of State declared Hillary Clinton the apparent winner of that state’s primary. At this writing with over 99% of the votes counted, she leads Bernie Sanders by an an extremely slim margin of about 2000 votes. From NBC News:

After the results came in, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said, “Essentially a tie in a state they dominated last time. And Oregon is yet to come.” Both parties are also holding primary contests in Oregon.

With the nominating season nearing an end, Clinton entered Tuesday’s contest needing to secure 140 total delegates to reach the 2,383 needed to clinch the nomination.

Clinton held a 282 pledged delegate lead over Sanders before Tuesday and needed just 34 percent of the remaining pledged delegates to reach that number.

Do you think Crooked Hillary will finally close the deal? If she can’t win Kentucky, she should drop out of race. System rigged!
