Chaos In Iowa: Caucus Results Unclear After Reporting Issues – Day That Was | MSNBC

  1. The statements leading up to the Iowa caucus were that a strong winner would have a stronger campaign remaining. So the caucus results might be important in New Hampshire and beyond. Senator Sanders was showing a strong lead in the caucus. What a coincidence that the Democratic Party was unable to report the results and may not be able to for a few days. How convenient for the DNC that this will diminish the effects of the results. There is no justice, there are no ethics, there is no fairness and legality left. Especially in our elections. …. This will backfire and will only make it better for Senator Bernie Sanders.

    1. The fix is in. Or at least the attempt. Split the state delegates. And usher in the super delegates at the Convention. Hope we don’t see replay of 2016. We all know how that turned out in the General election.

    1. @Ken Turner The Democrats have been the enemy since the establishment of this Republic. Seems nothing has changed. Sadly we all believed it did.

    1. I say Bernie won and they wont let that be the will of the people. Bernie has been at the top for a while, but they don’t want that.

    1. “there is a solid paper trail for the results. In each of the precincts, the caucus leaders collected “preference cards” from attendees, showing which candidate each participant favored. These exist primarily in case a recount is requested, but they also provide a backstop for any technical reporting issues, like those we’ve seen.”

    2. boston bevo Its Trump who can’t read, can’t pronounce words correctly, and doesn’t know that Missouri is where Kansas is. It’s a big country, but I’m not American and I know more about it than your future King Don.

    1. @Your Worst Nightmare – Facts And as a warning, CROSS TRUMP “YOU DIE”, MARIA YANOVICH “TAKE HER OUT”, ADAM SCHIFF “HASN’T PAID YET” PUTIN’S PUPPET. EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES BENEFITS…………..

    2. @Dawn-Marie Langlois Actually Portuguese is. I spent 2 years doing service in Brasil. Thank you for asking. Here’s your sign.

  2. If I was running the Yang campaign, I would milk this for everything it’s worth.

    “Yeahhhh. Gosh, wouldn’t it be nice if the country was run by people who – ya know – understood computer stuff…”

  3. Russians flexing their muscles? N Koreans? Hillary?
    Or was this the last Iowa Primary?
    Or God saying, “Paper ballots, fools!”

    1. Perhaps that CIA operative Andersen Cooper will suggest that the Iranians are to blame? #OperationMockingbird

  4. Basically the DNC screwed over the winner and helped flailing Biden wether intentionally or not is up for debate. It seemed shady from the beginning.

    1. no debate DNC cheated in the primary last year too. they are crooks, just like the right. time to fire the DNC.

    1. @Quantavius X Epstein was a blackmailer of politicians and elites, who had dirt on all the rich. If there is a conference room table of the 10 oligarchs who run this country, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, & Warren Buffett are most definitely there. The rest might be Jews and a couple neo-cons.

      They are all jews and I can do the same thing with the newspapers.
      I could go into the big banks too, but that would take most of the night because of the incestuous nature of banking.
      Its time to acknowledge the real problem. Everything else is a distraction.

  5. So, after all the interference in the 2016 election, the very first results in the 2020 election is having issues with reporting the count. This doesn’t bode well for the confidence of the electorate.

    1. Safety First CNN is reporting Russia was involved . Idk why msnbc isn’t saying it it just came out

  6. The Chaos was created to cheat Bernie because they know he won. And what about that Needless cointoss just to quickly sneak Bernie’s delegate over to Pete… what a show that was.

    1. From an outside perspective, American democracy is looking awfully corrupt right now. On one hand, Trump is doing what ever he wants without consequence, on the other hand the people’s vote is being suppressed.
      Even the media appears to be against Bernie Sanders, even when he wins polls, they just talk about how how he is too extreme. Big corporations doing all they can to keep Bernie Sanders out of office because he might actually work for the good of the people instead of keeping the rich rich

  7. Isn’t it funny how, WHEN BERNIE IS POISED TO WIN, there are sudden “TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES” reporting the results?

    1. @Michael Burke Electoral fraud and unfairness had always existed in the USA on every political level. — citizensincharge.org & ballotpedia.org & rangevoting.org & #proportionalrepresentation
