Even if they can't outright rig it: if the winner is a candidate they do not like, maybe they can sit on the results until 4am to deny that winner a broadcast victory speech.

through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.

new hampshire would declare it's too similar to being a primary, which would mean they have to move new hampshire before iowa by law. this threatens the entire ia/nh 1st in the nation truce.

Seems pretty win-win for democracy then.

The fun bit is that it's all kinda difficult to rig as long a you (a candidate) manage to have representatives on site.

yea this is going fine and normal, love to be at almost 10 central with zero results officially because the app we've had for like a month was coded by some dipshit's failson and we need to do 'quality control' on the literal most public form of voting possible.

Welp, looking at the replies and it's good to see that Bernie's crowd will be able to utilize their complete lack of understanding of what First Alignment is to claim they're being robbed. I look forward to many Dank Memes.

That is such loving bullshit. It doesn't even make any sense. No secretive process run by volunteers could resist state interference in any meaningful way.

Like what? They have volunteers doing OSINT on every precinct captain but forgot to start until tonight?

If the plan was to use non-digital means to verify counts, why that surely would be something worth communicating to caucus sites ahead of time.

Its a loving bullshit excuse.
