The Sanders campaign requested that the Kentucky secretary of state recanvass, rather than hold a recount. The Vermont senator's campaign wants a review of voting tallies on electronic voting machines and absentee ballots from each of the state?s 120 counties.
"He's in this until every last vote is counted, and he's fighting for every last delegate," campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said.
