The Iowa Caucus results have supposedly been fully reported, showing Sanders and Buttigieg in a close race only two votes apart. The Iowa Democratic Party is claiming the results are all in, but there are now reports that the Dems are once again not tallying all of the votes. It looks like they are trying to stop reporting before Sanders gains the lead.
“The Iowa Democratic Party announced that “100 percent” of precincts were finally reporting results late Thursday night — 72 hours after the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses concluded on Monday, and after numerous irregularities led the head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to call for a complete recanvass.
The state party’s numbers showed that Pete Buttigieg would be awarded 564 SDEs, or state delegate equivalents, while Bernie Sanders would receive 562 SDEs. Sanders held a sizeable popular vote lead, though, and finished ahead of Buttigieg by a 43,671 to 37,557 vote margin. He fell behind in delegates due to Iowa’s unusual voting system that gave different delegate weights to different precincts.
After the “second alignment” — meaning the popular vote after the elimination of candidates who received less than 15 percent of the vote in the first round of caucusing — Sanders was still ahead of Buttigieg, 45,826 votes to 43,195.
Almost immediately after the new results posted, more reports of discrepancies popped up. One precinct captain wrote on Twitter that he could “faithfully say” that the reported results were obviously “bulls–t.”
“With 100% of precincts reporting, I can faithfully say the Iowa results are bullshit. As a precinct captain in DM 06, I know for a fact the numbers reported for that district for every candidate who got more than 0 votes are wrong. 185 people caucused there. They say only 92 did.”

“And, despite the Iowa Democrats’ website saying “100 percent” of precincts were reporting, it appeared several caucus sites still had no data reported. The state party’s website apparently rounded up to 100 percent from 99.5 percent.”
The Iowa Democratic Party just tried to end the race early when the top two contenders are two votes apart. It looks like they didn’t learn from the 2016 race. They are already trying to hinder Sander’s chances of winning the primary. Are Dems really going to allow this to happen again? It looks like establishment Dems are trying to ensure that Sanders doesn’t come out in the lead and it appears they don’t care who wins as long as it isn’t Sanders. Supposedly the DNC is going to recanvas, but that’s like putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
I am a 100% Trumper, ad I hope they rig it against Sanders. If he is the nominee, the democrats would still support him instead of Trump, and there is no limit to the crookedness they will pull to beat Trump.
The Socialist Democratic Party is what it is – nothing has changed for decades and voter fraud is common – why are they surprised. If you want to know who will be the 2020 Presidential Nominee just ask one of the Liberal Elite that make all decisions for the Party.
In answer to the title question, do fish have scales? Alternative answer: Have they ever done anything like that before” Oh, wait…
all sane people know the dems are masters at voter fraud, political corruptness, cheat at any cost and no rule/law can’t be broken by them. so bernie.. keep feeling that dem bern. they paid you to run against hitllery just so dem voters thought they had a choice. the dems underestimated the hate the voters had for her. now bernie thinks he’s a democrat. no bernie.. we know you are a communist. dem voters haven’t a clue what that means. but sheeple don’t think. they react without reason
”Iowa’s unusual voting system”? Maybe the unusual counting and reporting system enacted by a Hillary apparatchik. Pencil, paper and a phone is a little old fashioned for the Common Core proponents.
Yes indeed, the Fascist socialist Establishment Democrats are running interference on Communist Bernie’s campaign. I am voting Trump 2020!
Why else would the Democrats use a Hillary apparatchiks common core vote recording and reporting application. Feel the burn, Bern? Of course the app was to have Hillary win, but chaos is almost as good.
