Donald Trump has a question about the Kentucky Democratic race.

The presumptive Republican nominee fired off a tweet Wednesday afternoon calling into question why Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a longtime friend of the Clintons who campaigned for the Democratic frontrunner, declared her the "unofficial" winner of the state even as votes were still being counted and The Associated Press deemed the contest too close to call.

Trump has repeatedly stated that Bernie Sanders is being treated unfairly by the Democratic Party, that both parties' systems are "rigged" and has suggested on multiple occasions that he consider an independent run, a move that would likely damage Clinton's general election prospects.

I look so forward to debating Crooked Hillary Clinton! Democrat Primaries are rigged, e-mail investigation is rigged - so time to get it on! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 18, 2016

Bernie Sanders is being treated very badly by the Democrats - the system is rigged against him. Many of his disenfranchised fans are for me! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 18, 2016

According to the Kentucky secretary of state's website displaying the unofficial results, Clinton leads Sanders by 1,924 votes with all precincts reporting.
