What's going on in Missouri?

Seems when it comes to Hillary it don't count percent wise but when Sanders wins a percent or two ahead its ok ,I live in Mich why didn't anybody call out a rigged election or recount when Sanders won a percent or two which there was a ballot shortage on the east part of the state that night because of big turnout,they say, so a lot of voters where turned away also,and they didn't want to wait in line up two hours lost votes also there
Still in all it was to close ....???? for us here

that they don't want to call it without seeing the provisionals and absentee ballots (also, foreign-mailed absentee ballots can arrive as late as Friday).

Plus Sanders could (but probably won't) request a recount with the numbers that close, so things can change.

No matter how it turns out, they don't want to make a mistake and mis-call the state, and the state elections board certainly wouldn't ever take that risk. We won't have a final call until the board certifies the election.

That's OK. In the public mind set, Clinton won five of five. Even a later upset won't change that.

In Michigan which we know people on east side of the state said it was a mess even in Flint ,but know one even thought of a recount at the time telling voters to leave their phone numbers they will call them when ballots arrive ,unreal to us here in Michigan it truly was upsetting when knowing friends who could not even vote because ballots ran out just before polls where closing

And also this morning on CBS they said Florida ran out of ballots they say large turnout makes you think whats going on again....

Hello Thom,

I was watching "Going Underground" on RT the other night and I saw an interview with Robert Epstein from Google. He talked about how through algorithms at Google,how Google can change the outcome of an election. He also spoke with audacity that Hilary will win the Democratic nomination and the White House with the help of Google. He added that Google will do it and the public won't even be aware of it.

Today I watched the results from the Missouri primary as they came in. All the way from the beginning of the results up until 95% Bernie was leading. Then suddenly Hillary passes Bernie. I am not computer suave but I know there is something rotten in Denmark. Thom,I believe Hilary won in Missouri and maybe even Illinois with the help of Google. It is one thing for Hillary to defeat Bernie fair and square but it is another thing to do it through a rigged election. I hope you know some computer wizzes on your team who could identify what it is that Google is doing to sabotage these elections.

Once again read Epstein's article in politico at:http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/how-google-could-rig-the-2016-election-121548

Further, there are not sufficient polling facilities in African American and poor areas, resulting in long wait times and people giving up and not voting. That is also why those areas tend to report their results later than other areas -- hence Hillary's late bump once those areas were finally able to report results.

Amazing that some Bernie supporters are trying to argue that these circumstances that actually hurt Hillary (and help Bernie) since she is overwhelmingly favored in African American districts, are somehow her doing.

Results switch rapidly when cities/counties with different demographics suddenly report their results.

Hillary was behind until very late because St. Louis and Kansas City were very late reporting results.

did call it this morning, but as close as it is, I can understand wanting to wait until all votes are counted.
