Don't believe NYPost tho unless you can find another source. NYPost is a tabloid-like publication.

They might as well post abotu LG6 next. :laughga: I'm serious. They posted an entire article calling Bernie a "hardcore communist" :ladyhaha:

To be fair, this post does source another source:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/iowa-democratic-party-anticipates-releasing-majority-caucus-results/story?id=68744850

"Polk County Democrats Chairman Sean Bagniewski confirmed to ABC News that the DNC had been calling precinct chairs and asking for results -- meaning the national party committee is actively engaging in calling the leaders of each precinct in order to verify the results." 

...

"Ahead of that results release, Carl Voss, a precinct chairman for Des Moines-55, said while attempting to drop off his precinct packet that he'd been contacted by the Democratic National Committee."

"They wanted a copy of my math sheet," he said.

I think its fair to say that the DNC is involved in this checking of votes, whether it means correcting math errors (which could be a thing, I have seen examples of people incorrectly rounding and what not) or something else :emma:

No caucus in history has been as corrupted and problematic as the one that just happened.

This is a tragic mess. None of these results should be taken seriously at all. 

There was the one back in 2012 in Iowa that declared a winner, then took it back. It took two weeks to get those results.

This isn’t a super special situation for snowflake Bernie. 

They tried to get a bunch of old people to use an app and didn’t do any training. Secondly, they changed the way they are doing the rounds this year, so it’s yet to be seen if that confused the hell out of caucus goers and precinct captains. Also, they weren’t prepared for the issues and problems that might come about with a new system and four to five candidates with chances to get 15 per cent. 

I think you are greatly overestimating the amount of money and personal that a state run caucus has at its disposal. They rely mostly on volunteers, volunteers that oftentimes are overwhelmed or understaffed at the locations.

Good thing they didn’t use it! 

They didn’t even train people on it. They just expected a bunch of old folks to figure it out. :giggle:

Precinct captains are still finding inconsistencies in the “corrected” numbers. This is completely ridiculous.

I mean, they’ve found countless “errors” like this in the last hour alone. Jesus Christ.

The fact people are laughing at this blatant incompetence and borderline corruption really says a lot about mainstream Democrats.

So 92% results have been posted and yet only 27 out of 41 pledged delegates have been awarded? Only 8% more precincts are responsible for 14 more delegates which can change the whole race... :awkney:

Am I missing something here or are the DNC people withholding  very important precincts?

8% of the vote can be across the whole state, for a ton of counties. For instance, if 0.5% of that 8% was from 1 county, they might hold back a whole equivalency delegate

The actual literal inconsistencies between what people on the ground recorded and what they are reporting calls into question the legitimacy of this entire system, REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU SUPPORT

If you just don't think fudging around the margins is a problem sometimes, say it plz, I'm running out of patience arguing with people who don't care about the truth :emma:
