Personally I’d think the term “popular vote” more accurately refers to first alignment, which is still pretty solidly for Sanders.

People still think the order of precinct data reporting is being manipulated to hurt Bernie, or...?

85% of the vote now counted in Iowa and Pete has overtaken Sanders in the popular vote as well as delegates.

Edit: appears they posted some incorrect results (WTF?) so reposting them soon.

What an absolute shit show. After delaying results for over 24 hours for "quality control", they post incorrect results. What an absolute embarrassment to democracy this has been.


It is not like they will be held accountable. Imagine believing they've been meticulously ensuring the results they post are accurate (taking longer than anyone can reasonably explain) then continuing to believe that when they screw up just the posting of information they meticulously triple checked.

It begs a belief in a level of incompetence that demands an explanation for why such incompetent people should be trusted with any power.

No, they are strait up changing the results now...

I mean I was skeptical of GH's accusations but these wrong results? Its not even 1 wrong number entered, its multiple and if this one was wrong and changed because the precinct itself posted the 'real' results it calls into question every single result from every single precinct.

In a paper ballot election this would qualify for a full recount. But hey, its a caucus so that's impossible...
Nullify the results, reschedule a new date for a new primary. Cause this shit is fucked.

Everything I’ve read suggests there are paper “preference cards” to go back to for every precinct, should someone care to audit it. Any reason you’re calling for a redo rather than an audit?

Edit: btw when you say “now” are you implying that before they were manipulating the reporting order but they stopped?

If there are official paper numbers from the precincts to audit the results then yes, I think they should be audited and in a transparent way like with representatives of the candidates present.
I assumed such an official paper trail might not exist with all the problems they are having. Because surely once the app fails you go strait for the paper and don't take 48 hours to have results...

The public should see those cards. Even the one for Black Hawk that was corrected is still not exactly matching the data, the results are close enough that I doubt it matters but it makes me want to see the other cards.

What if I told you they've been fucking it up like this for decades and the transparency rules that were added after 2016's debacle is the only reason we can see it?

I’m all in favor! Or if there are personal identifying info-type considerations with just making them public, at least get qualified independent auditors involved. Hell, have the UN audit this for all I care.

We're supposed to believe that they didn't immediately go to an audit of the paper with representatives from the campaigns there to observe as anyone running an election should know is just incompetence, not malice.

That they are taking 3+ days to do it, again incompetence, not malice.

Is there a particular reason this needlessly complicated system is utilised? I presume it’s a holdout from a totally different era that’s just stuck around?

romney is an experienced flip-flopper and weather-vane of a politician.

he'd at least consider it.
