Missouri certifies wins for Trump, Clinton in close primary
(AP) — Republican businessman Donald Trump and former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were certified Tuesday as the winners of Missouri's presidential primaries, though a recount remains a possibility.
Sanders previously said that he won't seek a recount, because it's unlikely to significantly affect the number of delegates each candidate receives to the Democratic National Convention under the proportional allocation system used by the party.
Tuesday's certified vote takes into account provisional ballots and absentee ballots cast by overseas voters that came in after election day.
Trump and Clinton both increased their lead in the certified vote — Trump's margin grew by 239 votes and Clinton's by 43 votes — compared to the election night tally.
