LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A recanvass of the votes in Kentucky's Democratic presidential primary started at 9 a.m. Thursday. At 1:00 p.m., Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes said the recanvass resulted in no change in the election outcome.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign requested the recanvass after losing to Hillary Clinton by less than half of 1 percent of the vote.

"He's in this until every last vote is counted and he's fighting for every last delegate," said Sanders' spokesman Michael Briggs.

A recanvass is not a recount, but a review of the voting totals. The purpose of a recanvass is to verify the accuracy of the vote totals reported from the voting machines.

Grimes' office said each of Kentucky's 120 county boards of elections rechecked and recanvassed each voting machines, per Kentucky law. The results were certified to the Secretary of State’s office.
