It looks like the DNC is at it again with shady tricks. What was the reason for the unconfirmed results in Iowa’s Democratic Caucus? Could there be some misdirection in play? Perhaps the Caucus was not going the way the DNC wanted. Here is a video of DNC rules being enforced at one precinct:
From QuickTake by Bloomberg:
A tie in this Iowa precinct is broken with a coin toss. Iowa Democratic Party rules dictate that in some circumstances a coin toss shall determine which candidate should win a delegate if two or more candidates are tied.
The Iowa caucuses that were to give shape to the Democratic presidential race devolved into political embarrassment for the party that left candidates and voters hanging with no results and no springboard into the next round of contests.
An attempt to modernize the arcane Iowa caucus system and make it more transparent melted down with the introduction of new technology and more complex rules. The Iowa Democratic Party was unable to release results from Monday’s caucuses after discovering “inconsistencies” in reporting from some precincts. The party indicated results may be released sometime Tuesday but gave no firm timeline.
In the void, several campaigns leaked unverified internal campaign data — submitted by their own precinct captains — to claim a strong showing. Pete Buttigieg effectively delivered his victory speech to supporters, saying, “By all indications we are going on to New Hampshire victorious.” Bernie Sanders’s campaign also released a ranking that showed Sanders at No. 1. Amy Klobuchar’s campaign said she outperformed Joe Biden for fourth place. None of those results could be confirmed.
