Sanders Battles Clinton to a Statistical tie in Kentucky

 

Even though Hillary Clinton is claiming victory in Kentucky, the delegates were split evenly with each candidate grabbing 25 of the state’s 50 pledged delegates. With 99.8% of the vote in, she has a narrow margin of .05% and that’s not expected to change.

AP says the race is too close to call and with the delegate split, it’s clearly a tie.
